Reproducible rock mass description in 3D using the JointMetriX3D system

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference paperpeer-review

Abstract

A novel system yielding unbiased geological mapping is presented. It uses high
resolution 3D images of rock faces from which measurements can be taken. Without requiring
physical contact dip and dip direction or distances are determined and parameters such as spacing or spherical aperture derived. The referenced 3D image represents an objective data basis leading to a reproducible rock mass description that can be analysed even if the original rock face is no longer existing. The flexible system improves data quality and makes work safer. It is used in tunnelling, subsurface and open pit mining, for rock slopes or the documentation of existing structures
