Abstract:This paper presents an easy and effective methodology that includes several submodels for the visual characterisation of the wedge structures, locations, and densities of all faced in situ polyhedral rock blocks on rock slope surfaces. A series of linear equations and classifying processes was derived to define the natural wedge blocks according to their basic boundary elements, specifically their edges, corners, and angles. In the developed model, wedge structures can be selected by a filtering process from t… Show more
