Rock joint shear tests. Methods, results and relevance for design
Recent regulations introduced a limit state approach to geotechnical design by using representative values of the actions and of the strength parameters, partial safety factors that affect them, and by including safety margins in the calculation models. Moreover, Eurocode 7 stresses the importance of making use of test results for establishing ground parameters, and so rock joint shear tests are set to play a relevant role in the assessment of the shear strength required in the design of important projects, such as concrete dams, large bridge foundations, slopes, or underground excavations. In this keynote, joint shear tests are described, along with a presentation of their equipments and different procedures. Test results and calculations for the assessment of relevant shear strength parameters are illustrated, and several topics regarding sampling and variability are discussed. Opportunity is taken to present a practical apparatus allowing to perform simple shear tests (push tests) under very low normal stresses with advantages over tilt or pull tests. ; 11 ; 1 ; 14p ; DBB/NFOS ; 2012 ; 28 a 30 de Maio
