Original Abstract

The newly derived fractal formula for joint rock coefficients has resulted solely from the valid fractal scaling relations, and thus it is not affected by common artifacts such as the joint profiles of different origins, discretization errors associated with digitizing profiles, inappropriate numerical methods for computing D or different methods for assessing JRC. The derived relation does not stem from a fitting procedure as other previously published formulae but represents the relation that has been derived 'ab initio' from the fractal scaling laws.

Keywords
