Investigating the Interacting Mechanisms of Precast Intersecting Cracks in Concrete: Insights from the Simulations Based on Discrete Element Method

Underground mines often use shotcrete and reinforced concrete as support. Excavation disturbance, in situ stress, and blasting cause initial fractures to propagate. Intersecting fractures are common. This paper studies how intersecting fracture geometry affects fracture propagation under uniaxial compression. DEM and P...
