A coupled method combining UDEC and LS-DYNA is presented whereby the explosion process is simulated by LS-DYNA while the wave propagation and its dynamic effects in rock masses with faults are modeled by UDEC. The blast-induced crack evolution and failure zone distribution in faulted rock masses are explored using the proposed coupled method. The relationship between rock failure and fault parameters such as dip, stiffness and friction are also investigated. The results indicate that the coupled method is feasible and effective for evaluating explosion in discontinuous rock system and the existence of faults exerts significant influence on the pattern of rock masses failure. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
