A NUMERICAL METHOD FOR THE DEFINITION OF DISCONTINUITY SETS
The numerical method developed at the Laboratorio Nacional de Engenharia Civil (LNEC) which allows the complete determination of the existing discontinuity system starting from the total field data collection is described. The method may be applied to any number of the sets of information obtained and can also take into consideration cases of a non-uniform sampling of the discontinuities. The determination of the existing discontinuity sets is done through different steps, the first one using as a basis the spherical Poisson distribution and the other ones the bivariate normal distribution on the tangent plane at the mean attitude. The number of the covering abstract of the congress is TRIS no. 385148. (TRRL)
