Abstract
Laboratory and in situ testing have shown that the deformability of anisotropic rocks varies with spatial orientation. This characteristic must be included into any theoretical model that is supposed to simulate their behavior. The purpose of this chapter is twofold:
-
(i)
to review the constitutive relations available for anisotropic media and analyze their applicability to rocks,
-
(ii)
to review the in situ and laboratory testing procedures to assess the deformability of anisotropic rocks.
