This paper describes synthetic rock mass (SRM) modeling, a new approach for simulating the mechanical behavior of jointed rock mass. This technique uses the bonded particle model for rock to represent intact material and the smooth-joint contact model (SJM) to represent the in situ joint network. The macroscopic behavior of an SRM sample depends on both the creation of new fractures through intact material and slip/opening of pre-existing joints. SRM samples containing thousands of non-persistent joints can be submitted to standard laboratory tests (UCS, triaxial loading, and direct tension tests) or tested under a non-trivial stress path representative of the stresses induced during the engineering activity under study.Output from the SRM methodology includes pre-peak properties (modulus, damage threshold, peak strength, etc.) and post-peak properties (brittleness, dilation angle, residual strength, fragmentation, etc.). Of particular interest is the ability to obtain predictions of rock mass scale effects, anisotropy, and brittleness, properties that cannot be obtained using empirical methods of property estimation. This paper presents the theoretical background of the SRM approach along with some example applications.
