9. A rock mass is cut by one set of joints with spacing S= 0.40 m. (a) If the joint normal and shear deformations are assumed to be equal to that of the rock itself, express k, and k, in terms of E and v. (b) Assuming E= 10¹ MPa and 0.33, calculate all the terms of the strain-stress relationship for an equivalent transversely isotropic medium, (corresponding to Equation 6.9).
