The paper examines methods of assessing the critical fractures and quality of an ornamental stone deposit. Fracture status was evaluated by an in-situ Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) test. The resulting 3D GPR model allowed exploration of the extension, shape, and orientation of the detected fractures surfaces. It also identified a rock stratum with a noticeably lower load of critical fractures compared to the other strata. Physico-mechanical properties were investigated by laboratory tests allowing classification of the deposit into quality categories, which provided a promising correlation with the GPR survey results.

Abstract

The paper examines methods of assessing the critical fractures and quality of an ornamental stone deposit. Fracture status was evaluated by an in-situ Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) test. The resulting 3D GPR model allowed exploration of the extension, shape, and orientation of the detected fractures surfaces. It also identified a rock stratum with a noticeably lower load of critical fractures compared to the other strata. Physico-mechanical properties were investigated by laboratory tests allowing classification of the deposit into quality categories, which provided a promising correlation with the GPR survey results.
