Abstract

Abstract:

Development of the geometrical identification method of blocks in fractured rock masses is divided into three stages and the representative research results in each of the stages are analyzed. We compare and analyze the typical three-dimensional whole space block identification methods and give a general mathematical description for these methods. The existing problems and topics which need further research are pointed out.

Key words: block identification, block cutting, key block theory, topology, boundary representation
