... with the results of forward modeling many stochastic realizations of the DFN using different size distributions. Forward modeling is possible since the fracture orientations are well specified from both log and outcrop data and the well radius and trajectory are known. While the outcrop trace data for fractures...

.... In-situ rock block size influences the muck pile size distribution after blast, and the amount of drilling and explosive required to achieve a desired distribution. Thus, continuous measurement of pre- and post-blast rock block size distribution is essential for the optimization of the rock fragmentation...
