Investigation of virtual bimrocks to estimate 3d volumetric block proportions from 1d boring measurements

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Simplified approaches to characterization, such as ignoring the presence of rock blocks, have often been adopted by geopractitioners to design engineering works in/on bimrocks and bimsoils. Although a correct estimation of the VBP is of paramount importance, only a few researchers have attempted to tackle this problem, by focusing on means to apply adjustments to measured block proportions to more accurately estimate VBPs. Four physical bimrock models were fabricated with known block-size distributions having fractal dimension of 2.3 (typical of Franciscan Complex mélanges ).
