Sheeting joints are discernibly curved fractures that open near the surface of the Earth at shallow depths, form essentially parallel to the topographic surface, …
Sheeting joints are best developed beneath domes, ridges, and saddles. They also are reported, albeit rarely, beneath valleys or bowls. A mechanism that …
Sheeting joints are extensive fractures that typically develop parallel to natural slopes. Embryonic sheeting joints initially constitute channels for water flow and then become the focus for weathering and sediment infill accompanied by progressive deterioration and dilation. Slabs of rock fail along them periodically because of their adverse orientation …
Centuries ago, quarrymen learned that when quarrying granite it was usually easiest to break the rock along a nearby horizontal surface. We know this arises because _____ a) uplift & exhumation of granites produces an unloading, which produces sheeting joints like the quarrymen used b) chemical weathering of granite makes the material expand, …
Joints (also termed extensional fractures) are planes of separation on which no or undetectable shear displacement has taken place. The two walls of the resulting tiny opening typically remain in tight (matching) contact. Joints may result from regional tectonics (i.e. the compressive stresses in front of a mountain belt), folding (due to ...
teristic of sheeting joints in fresher rock may be ineffective due to weakening of the wall rock. 3.2 General Shape, Occurrence and Relationship to Micro Fractures Sheeting joints often extend 100 m or more laterally as discrete fractures. Overlying tabular slabs of rock are typically 1–10 m thick; with an observed tendency for slab
Sheeting joints have attracted attention for more than two centuries, yet their cause has remained unclear. Sheeting joints are opening mode rock fractures that form subparallel to the topographic…. Origin of sheet structure, 1. Morphology and boundary conditions.

Finite-element calculations of the stresses developed beneath infinite simple sinusoidal topography by: (1) longitudinal and transverse tectonic compression, (2) elastic unloading from an initial lithostatic pressure, (3) annual and diurnal temperature variations, and (4) by a near-surface expansion, such as might be expected from extreme surface heating, …
Sheeting joints are one form of manifestations of relaxation of rocks. Response of rocks to unloading depends on a number of geological variables and loading-unloading history, and that several ...
surface. Sheeting joints may exploit previous weakness directions, particularly in igneous bodies but others develop as new fractures, totally in response to the stress state at the …

Sheeting joints are extensive fractures that typically develop parallel to natural slopes. Embryonic sheeting joints initially constitute channels for water flow and then become the focus for weathering and sediment infill accompanied by progressive deterioration and dilation. ... Occurrence and Relationship to Micro Fractures Sheeting …
Unloading joints (fractures) in Cretaceous granodiorite, Yosemite National Park, California. These fractures form roughly parallel to the land surface. (11118-12)
Sheet structure in New England granites tends toward parallelism with the exposed rock surface and is completely independent of all primary rock structures, commonly transecting contacts between the granite and xenoliths, roof pendants, the country rock itself, and minor postgranite intrusive bodies. In general the sheets become progressively thicker, flatter, …
A quantitative test of the relationship above accounts for where sheeting joints (prominent shallow surface-parallel fractures in rock) are abundant and for where they are scarce or absent in the ...
Radiation is energy propagated through space, and, in the context considered here, encompasses two kinds of phenomena: 1) electromagnetic waves, e.g.,
Sheeting joints are curved, opening mode fractures. Sheeting joints form near, and subparallel to, the topographic surface. Erosion of overburden, by itself, does …
This paper reviews several landslide case histories and on the basis of these provides guidelines for characterising sheeting joints and determining their shear strength. Engineering options for stabilising …
Ultimately, sheeting joints create and cause large slabs of rock to eventually fall away in a process known as exfoliation. But the mechanism by which sheeting joints occur presents a paradox. ... Martel presents a new model that treats the relationship between depth and tension perpendicular to ground surface as a function of …

a convex traction-free surface will arise if the product of P and the surface curvature (k) exceeds the product of the unit weight of rock (rg) and the cosine of the slope (cosb). The tensile stress contributes fundamentally to sheeting joints; erosion of overburden, by itself, does not. Rocks with high uniaxial compressive strengths host ...
Find out the requirements and duties of Gaskets and similar joints of metal sheeting combined with other material or of two or more layers of metal; sets or assortments of gaskets and similar joints, dissimilar in composition, put up in pouches, envelopes or similar packings; mechanical seals
A newly formed sheeting joint may comprise a near perfectly matching fracture. Nevertheless, the permeability will be higher than the surrounding rock and allow groundwater ingress. In some situations water pressure may reduce effective stresses sufficiently to initiate shear. During shear, rough joints dilate the…See more on link.springer
Sheeting joints may have a basic angle of friction of 40° (Hencher & Richards, 1982) to which a roughness angle of the surface i can be added (assumed to be 2° for initial assessment purposes ...
The formation of sheeting joints has been an outstanding problem in geology. New observations and analyses indicate that sheeting joints develop in response to a near-surface tension induced by ...
Sheeting joints share many geometric, textural, and kinematic features with other joints, but differ in that they are (a) discernibly curved, and (b) open near to and subparallel to the topographic surface. Where sheeting joints are geologically young, the surface-parallel compressive stresses are large, typically several MPa or greater. Sheeting joints …
[1] Sheeting joints have attracted attention for more than two centuries, yet their cause has remained unclear. Sheeting joints are opening mode rock fractures that form subparallel to the topographic surface and develop to depths of at least 100 m. They are best developed beneath convex surfaces in massive rocks where the compressive …
Sheeting joints are a striking feature of many landscapes (Fig. 1a, b) and they have been studied for more than two centuries (Twidale 1973). They run roughly parallel to the
