The mechanical properties of rock experiencing the variation of joint orientation under uniaxial compression condition were simulated in this paper. Numerical simulations on rock sample in uniaxial compression have been conducted to evaluate the effects of joint orientation on the overall mechanical behaviour of jointed rock masses. It was done using the Rock Failure Process Analysis program RFPA2D. Numerically simulated stress-strain curve, peak stress, peak strain and failure patterns were compared with the corresponding physical tests. Numerical simulations agree well with physical results, it is shown that RFPA2D is suitable for the analysis of joint orientation effect on rock fracture.
