Joint Shear Strength

Joint Shear Strength is a mechanical property that characterizes the maximum shear stress a rock discontinuity can sustain before failure, distinguished from the shear strength of intact rock by its dependence on surface roughness, filling material, and applied normal stress across the joint plane.
