The Research on Mean Spacing of Rock Fracture
The mean spacing of rock fracture is a very important parameter base to evaluate rock mass,a number of rock studies base on it. Object of this paper is Beishan preselected area in Gansu Province, China. A uthor use GPS-RTK to measure the fracture’s endpoints and inflection, then process the resulting coordinate, building a three-dimensional model of rock fracture by using three-dimensional software and meshing the three-dimensional model, Through the analysis of fractures in each grid to calculate the linear density of rock fracture, after the orientation and inclination correction on linear density, it can be converted to an mean spacing of rock fractures. The mean spacing of rock fracture can be directly used for rock mass classification in GSI rock systems, and has a great significance in rock engineering studies.
