STUDY ON FRACTAL GEOMETRY OF ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF ROCK MASS STRUCTURE

This paper studied fractal characteristics of essential elements of rock mass structure, such as shape of discontinuity, thickness of discontinuity, distribution of discontinuities, distribution of structural body, dispersion of orientation of discontinuities, pore distribution, and surface shape of particles, so as to improv equantitative description and a new method for quantitative evaluation of rock engineering geological conditions.
