Assessment of block size and shape in rock mass by simplified methods : master’s thesis

Distribucija veličina i oblik blokova važna je karakteristika stijenske mase kojom se na temelju geometrijskih značajki diskontinuiteta opisuju očekivane veličine i oblici blokova, što je važno prilikom izvođenja bilo kojeg inženjerskog zahvata u stijenskim masama. Procjena distribucije veličina i oblika blokova u ovom radu napravljena je pomoću pojednostavljenih metoda uzimajući u obzir skupove diskontinuiteta koji su utvrđeni na kamenolomu ʺIvanecʺ nedaleko Zagreba.Abstract: Distribution of sizes and shapes of blocks is an important characteristic of the rock mass which, based on the geometric features of discontinuities, describe the expected sizes and shapes of blocks, which is important during the construction of any engineering structures in the rocks. Assessment of the block sizes and shapes in these thesis is made by simplified methods which is based on measured discontinuities in a „Ivanec“ quarry near Zagreb
