In between these limits there are a great number of real cases of rocks, which are
sound in the matrix - that means that they possess an appreciable ultimate compressive
strength as well as noticeable deformation moduli - but are subdivided by strata,
joints, cracks, fissures, faults or by any kind of discontinuities.
Indeed, these rock masses are more like a pile of blocks, which do fit perfectly each
to another; their interfaces presenting properties of friction, cohesion and viscosity.
Occasionally, some spotwise continuity of the rock across the joints can be observed.
