Abstract

Modelling of rock fracturing problems with FRACOD requires some physical and mechanical rock properties not commonly used in traditional rock mechanics. This chapter gives a short description and references to testing methods and data for properties in the following areas:
  • Mechanical properties

    • Intact rock

    • Joint

    • New fracture

  • Fracture mechanics properties

  • Thermal properties

Keywords
