Jointed　rock　masses　are　a　common　phenomenon　in　rock　engineering　and　are　vulnerable　to　cyclic　loads　caused　by　earthquakes,　blasts,　and　traffic　loads.　Therefore,　it　is　crucial　to　comprehend　the　fatigue　characteristics　of　jointed　rock　masses　under　dynamic　cyclic　disturbance　for　long-term　stability　assessments　of　rock　engineering　structures.　This　paper　aims　to　investigate　the　effects　of　distinct　joint　inclinations　under　pre-cyclic　loading　on　the　strength　and　failure　characteristics　of　rock-like　specimens　using　experiments　and　numerical　simulations.　The　results　indicate　that　cyclic　loading　decreases　the　strength　of　the　specimen,　and　the　strength　characteristics　of　the　specimen　are　more　apparent　as　the　joint　inclination　angle　becomes　smaller.　Furthermore,　insights　into　different　upper　limit　stress　fatigue　behaviors　were　gained　by　analyzing　strength　characteristics,　crack　propagation　characteristics,　and　failure　modes.　Numerical　results　show　that　the　damage　degree　of　cyclic　loading　at　high-stress　levels　is　linked　to　the　joint　inclination　angle　and　carrying　capacity　of　specimens,　and　high　cycle　stress　levels　have　an　impact　on　the　failure　mode　of　the　specimen.
