Abstract
This paper summarizes the results of numerical studies on drift stability i n moderately jointed rock masses. II investigates the relative pertinence o f geomechanical factors such as joint orientation, spacing and stress regim e. This is undertaken using a distinct element model and a series of parame tric studies.
