Significant uncertainties remain regarding the assessment of the peak shear strength of rock joints. This paper investigates the capability of PFC2D to realistically simulate the peak shear strength of hard crystalline rock joints under different constant normal stress magnitudes. The results of the numerical simulations in the PFC2D environment show that the simulated peak shear strength using the profile containing the steepest asperity is in good agreement with that measured in the laboratory.
