Evaluation of joints in granitic outcrops for dimension ...

Abstract Visual impacts are common in dimension stone exploitation as a result of the excess of raw material abandoned in the vicinity of quarries, mainly when the fracture characteristics do not allow large blocks to be obtained. Quarry management is extremely dependent on natural block size. Therefore a small variation in joint characteristics would be significant for block size assessment.
