Cover Illustration: The figure on the front cover of this ORANGE BOOK emphasizes the general non-linearity of shear strength envelopes for intact rock, for stress-induced fractures, and for rock joints—the latter showing great similarity to rock fill due to common, highly stressed asperities and contact points. A combination of triaxial and direct shear tests is illustrated as if at the same scale. The realit
