*JOINTED MATERIAL
Data lines defining failure surface and flow parameters (SHEAR RETENTION omitted):
First line:
1. Angle of friction, , for this system. Give the value in degrees.
2. Dilation angle, , for this system. Give the value in degrees.
3. Cohesion, d, for this system. (Units of FL
−2
.)
4. Temperature.
5. First field variable.
6. Second field variable.
7. Etc., up to four field variables.
Subsequent lines (only needed if the DEPENDENCIES parameter has a value greater than four):
1. Fifth field variable.
2. Etc., up to eight field variables per line.
Repeat this set of data lines as often as necessary to define the dependence of the failure and surface
flow parameters on temperature and other predefined field variables.
Data lines defining the shear retention in open joints (SHEAR RETENTION included):
First line:
1. Fraction of elastic shear modulus retained when joints are open, . This value cannot be less
than zero.
2. Temperature.
3. First field variable.
4. Second field variable.
5. Etc., up to six field variables.
Subsequent lines (only needed if the DEPENDENCIES parameter has a value greater than six):
1. Seventh field variable.
2. Etc., up to eight field variables per line.
Repeat this set of data lines as often as necessary to define the dependence of the shear retention on
temperature and other predefined field variables.
