Features: This book systematically elaborates on the numerical analysis methods and the basic principles of geomechanical model testing for rock masses, particularly jointed rock masses, as well as their applications in large-scale rock engineering projects. In terms of numerical analysis, it focuses on introducing the fundamental theories, computational methods, and programs developed for three-dimensional elastoplastic finite element method, three-dimensional damage and fracture finite element method, damage rock bolt support finite element method, and three-dimensional discrete element method, along with their applications in large-scale non-electric and geotechnical engineering projects. In the field of physical model testing, it introduces the basic principles, testing techniques, and methods of similarity material geomechanical model testing, with the background of large-scale engineering geomechanical model testing research. The book emphasizes the close integration of theory and engineering practice, as the established mechanical models, developed computational methods, and developed computational programs are applied and effectively guide engineering practice. This book is suitable for engineering technicians and researchers in systems such as water conservancy, hydropower, mining, civil engineering, railway, civil defense, and national defense, as well as serving as a reference textbook for university teachers, students, and postgraduate researchers in relevant fields.
