- Pre-existing fractures in rock engineering significantly affect the entire structural stability. To deepen the understanding of the fracture mechanism of fractured rocks under shear loading, a numerical study based on the distinct element method was conducted to investigate the shear behaviors of rock fractures. A discrete element model with fractures of Barton's ten standard profiles was established, and shear simulations under different normal stresses and joint roughness coefficient (JRC) were carried out. The simulation results show that the shear stress–displacement curve can be divided into three stages: elastic loading stage, inelastic stage and stress drop stage. The shear strength, internal friction angle and cohesion increase with the increase of normal stress and JRC. These macroscopic mechanical characteristics are consistent with the results of previous experimental studies. Most of the microcracks generated during the shearing process are tensile microcracks, which are first formed at the steep position of the fracture profile line, and the proportion of shear microcracks is less than 10%. In addition, the contact force between particles is mainly compressive stress, which is greater in magnitude and density than tensile stress. As the shear proceeds, the displacement of the particles gradually changes from non-uniform distribution to uniform distribution.
