Abstract
Discontinuous Deformation Analysis (DDA) is a novel method used to analyze the motional law for discontinuous, jointed rock masses. This method has been widely used in engineering practice. However, there are still some limitations in both its theory and practical application. A modified DDA code was compiled and applied in several projects. A selection of three DDA applications are presented in the form of case studies. Some good results were obtained and played a significant role in designing the systems of support stabilization and the sequence of work. All of the results are presented in this paper.
