SUMMARY:Three Dimensional Representation of Rock Mass Fracturing via Compu
 ter Codes Generating Solid Models
DESCRIPTION:Fermin A. Sanchez and Alvaro D. Suarez (National University of
  Mexico)\n\nIn civil and mining works, the study of rock masses as well as
  understanding their structural arrangement is fundamental; each rock mass
  is unique, and its analysis also depends on the type of structure that is
  planned to be built. This work focuses on the analysis of the structural 
 arrangement of the discontinuities and the volume of the generated blocks.
  The analysis of the structural arrangement of discontinuities in a rock m
 ass is approached from its representation in planes. The interaction betwe
 en the different families of discontinuities determines the rate of fractu
 re and the volumetric arrangement of blocks within a rock mass. Computatio
 nal tools were developed that allow a multi-directional in-depth study of 
 the variations of discontinuities while mapping its behaviour through char
 acteristic volumes, which distribution is determined through statistical a
 nalysis. A computational code was developed in Python for the analysis of 
 the fracture index, the fracturing rate from multidirectional virtual dril
 lings and a block volume analysis to obtain the volumes of the blocks form
 ed from the interaction of the various planes making up the families of di
 scontinuities. Besides being a very useful tool, this code allow creating 
 aesthetic representation of rock masses as it will be presented.\n\nDomain
