Renormalization Model and Its Application in Instability and Failure of Rock

The critical phenomenon in rock failure is analyzed with renormalization model on the assumption that strength of rock fallows probability distribution and self-similar characteristic. The experimental results are introduced. The calculation results given by renormalization model are in good accordance with experimental results. This show that the theoretical failure point of rock and evolutionary process of rock mass can be simulated accurately by renormalization model. Normalization model can be adopted to judge whether the rock start to fail or not.
