What are the conditions of slope in the field
§ Simple slope with single, two or three joints
§ Large number of joint sets present in the slope
§ Heavily jointed rock slope
§ Waste dump / very weak rock / soil
§ Simple slope with single, two or three joints
§ large number of joint sets present in the slope
§ Heavily jointed rock
§ Waste dump / very weak rock / soil
§ Properties of each Joints strength
§ Properties of each joint set or combined properties
§ Properties of jointed rock mass
§ Properties of waste rock
Continuum modelling
Continuum modeling is best suited for the analysis of slopes that are comprised of massive, intactrock, weak rocks, and soil-like or heavily jointed rock masses. Discontinuum modeling isappropriate for slopes controlled by discontinuity behaviour.
Critical Parameters: shear strength of material, constitutive criteria, watercondition, insitu stress state
Advantages: Allows for material deformation and failure, model complexbehaviour, pore pressures, creep deformation and/or dynamic
loading can be simulated
Limitations: inability to model effects of highly jointed rock

Model Behavior
Continuum modelling
Typical Input required
• Moduls of Elasticity for rockand joints
• Poision ratio for rock and joints
• Density
• Shear strength for rock andjoints
• Joint behaviour
• Water pressure
• Continuum modelling (water simulation)
Pore water pressure
Ground water table
Infiltration of rain water
Discontinuum modelling
Discontinuum modeling is appropriate for slopes controlled by discontinuity behaviour
Critical Parameters: discontinuity stiffness and shear strength; groundwatercharacteristics; in situ stress state.
Advantages: Allows for block deformation and movement of blocks relative to eachother, can modeled with combined material and discontinuity behaviourcoupled with hydro - mechanical and dynamic analysis
Limitations: need to simulate representative discontinuity geometry (spacing,persistence, etc.); limited data on joint properties available

Hybrid modelling
Hybrid codes involve the coupling of these two techniques (i.e. continuum and discontinuum) to maximize their key advantages.
Critical Parameters: Combination of input parameters
Advantages: Coupled finite-/distinctelement models able to simulate intactfracture propagation and fragmentation of jointed and bedded rock.
Limitations: high memory capacity;
