AB - Faulting not only produces a plane of weakness within the rockmass but can significantly weaken it locally by the development of a damage zone around the fault. The paper aims to highlight to the geotechnical community the potential impact of the fault damage zone by using GSI and Hoek-Brown assessments of the rockmass strength on a case study from Culver, SW England. Both assessments demonstrated that the rockmass within the damage zone is weaker than the unfaulted rock, weakening significantly towards the fault core.
