... Abstract: This paper investigates how 3 dimensional (3D) laser images of rock faces can be processed to highlight several characteristics of the rock mass in three different geological environments. The first scene features large cubic quartzite rock blocks from a road cut. The second scene...

...]. 1. INTRODUCTION Geological data for a rock mass is normally gathered during scan line or cell mapping analysis, where information about the rock is measured by hand [4]. Since these methods are very time intensive and full access to the rock face may be limited, geological information must...

... to maintain safe and reliable operations and working conditions. For example, recent CIP work at the Boundary Project required several field efforts to characterize the rock mass of the power plant transformer bay rock face and dam access tunnel in order to mitigate persistent rock fall problems and develop...

... ABSTRACT The importance of the collection and analysis of data on discontinuities cannot be overemphasized. Problems which include sampling difficulties, risks, limited access to rock faces and exposures, and the delay in data collection has led to a high need for data collection tools...

... on the software used. Sirovision provides red colored point cloud data as one way to quickly spot possible flawed data. Checking model accuracy using surveyed features within the model also provides error checking. Potential accuracy can degrade quickly when modeling a difficult object such as rock. Rock faces...

... important information about the geometry of rock faces and the structure of the rock mass. 3D images provide a dense grid of measurement points combined with a digital image aligned with the surface topography. This contribution presents an approach for kinematical analyses of rock blocks based...

... the samples size is small, i.e. not optimal to characterize the rock mass completely. In this paper, alternative techniques will be discussed. Using photogrammetry or a laser scanner, an accurate 3D digital model (DSM) of the rock surface is generated. Discontinuity orientation and position on the rock face...

... ABSTRACT: Fracture mapping at exposed rock faces is one of important approaches to investigate the influence of fractures on mechanic and hydraulic behavior of fractured rock masses. The objective of this study is to apply non-reflector geodetic total station and close range digital...

... ABSTRACT: A complete algorithm for starting with a digital image of a rock face, automatically delineating traces, and extracting three dimensional joint or fracture orientation data is described. Less emphasis is placed on the pre-processing of the image, as different images require different...

All of the 21 rock bolts in the panels that fell were separated either at the backface of the wall, in the extension from the wall to the rock face or at the rock face. None of the rock bolts had been pulled out of the bond length...
