Discontinuities' spacing has been assessed in photogrammetry models along a dense set of scanlines oriented in four...

The strength anisotropy and the direction of weakening is useful information for engineering applications. Metamorphic foliation with the specific orientation of rock grains also influences the mechanical...

... is usually laminated. In order to get an insight into the influence of different lamination factors on size effect, cubic rock specimens with different sizes, stress directions, lamination orientations and lamination spacing were tested under true tri-axial conditions with 3DEC. The results show that regular...

On site testing included: quantitative description of discontinuities in rock masses; orientation, spacing, persistence, roughness, edge strength...

... Abstract The relative orientation of foliation or closely spaced bedding has an important influence on the behavior of underground structures. Not only the potential failure mode is controlled by the relative orientation between underground opening and foliation strike, but also...

DFN models are statistical models which define the density of fractures having given geometrical properties (size and orientation) and which include an intrinsic variability term. One of the main challenging task is to combine all available data. Data remain sparse and scarce...
