Heterogeneous materials such as polycrystalline rocks and concrete contain a large number of pores and microcracks. These microdefects are responsible for inelastic mechanical behaviour and finally lead to macroscopic failure under compression and shear. Numerous studies have been undertaken to explain the failure mechanism of brittle materials including glass, hard plastics, plaster, ice, concrete and rock [1–19]. The main advantages of the developed constitutive models are that they can describe the physical mechanisms in rock resulting from nucleation and propagation of microcracks under compressive and shear stresses. For stability analysis in rock engineering, the most important factor is to simulate macroscopic failure and the damage zone in a rock mass due to excavation. The deformation of a rock mass is governed not only by the properties of the rock matrix, but is also governed by the orientation and creep properties of the discontinuities/fractures. Kranz et al.[20] investigated the temperature and water effects on the creep fracture growth of granite at a given load, and concluded that increasing temperature and water content led to weakening of the rock and to failure. Fakhimi and Fairhurst [21] developed a time-dependent model of intact rock considering also the effect of rock fractures.
