The Impact of Fracture Persistence and Intact Rock Bridge Failure on the In Situ Block Area Distribution
The in situ block size distribution is an essential characteristic of fractured rock masses and impacts the assessment of rockfall hazards and other fields of rock mechanics. The block size distribution can be estimated rather easily for fully persistent fractures, but it is a challenge to determine...
