The New Method of Connecting Projection of Structural Planes Exposed Points into a Line

Abstract:

Structural planes in rock mass play a regulatory role in strength, deformation and fracture. It is the primary task to find out spatial distribution of controlling structural planes. The new method of connecting projection of structural planes exposed points into a line is realized by the certain distance from exposed points to the plane. And the plane is determined by its occurrence. Then select the suitable data and project to the ground surface using trigonometric function conversion. Finally connect these projection points into a line. Computation process can be simplified through MATLAB. This new method is applied to draw the exposed trace line of III-class structure in the left dam abutment adits of Yebatan hydroelectric power station in Jinsha river. The results are accurate, which means this method is feasible.
