Block Geometry Analysis

Block Geometry Analysis is a methodological framework within Discontinuity Analysis that characterizes the spatial and topological configurations of discrete blocks formed by discontinuities in a medium, distinguishing itself by quantifying geometric attributes such as block size, shape, and connectivity to assess structural integrity and discontinuity influence.
