Estimation of fracture size and azimuth in the universal elliptical disc model based on trace information
The geometric characteristics of fractures within a rock mass can be inferred by the data sampling from boreholes or exposed surfaces. Recently, the universal elliptical disc (UED) model was developed to represent natural fractures, where the fracture is assumed to be an elliptical disc and the frac...
