... allows one to detect traces whose surface dimensions are larger than the resolution. 5 ROCK MASS DEGREE OF FRACTURING Different approaches have been developed by several authors to quantify the rock mass degree of fractur- ing. In the following we describe the two more widely applied in practice: the Jv...
