Background
Currently, the projects involves the construction of rock (slope, foundation, underground caverns) have become increasingly frequent. Rock engineering analysis, i.e. through various means and ways to get a correct understanding of the laws of rock deformation and failure, to determine the stability conditions of rock mass, predict future changes, and devise effective measures to deal with the project, becomes more and more important. Block Theory is one of the most famous traditional analysis methods for these purposes in computational rock mechanics.
