*JOINTED MATERIAL
Data lines defining failure surface and flow parameters(SHEAR RETENTION omitted):
First line:
1. Angleof friction, , for this system. Givethe value in degrees.
2. Dilation angle, , for this system. Give the value in degrees.
3. Cohesion,d, for this syst em. (Units of FL−2.)
4. Temperature.
5. Firstfield variable.
6. Second field variable.
7. Etc., up to four field variables.
Subsequent lines (only needed if the DEPENDENCIES parameter has a value greater thanfour):
1. Fifthfield 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 RETENTIONincluded):
First line:
1. Fractionof elastic s hear modulus retained when joints are open, . This value cannot be less
than zero.
2. Temperature.
3. Firstfield variable.
4. Second field variable.
5. Etc., up to six field variables.
Subsequent lines (only needed if the DEPENDENCIES parameterhas a value greater than six):
1. Seventhfield 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.
