Improved numerical modeling of rock masses through geostatistical characterization
52A
The reference model is not directly applicable in situ. However, the model can applied in the field after a simple, but sometimes depth deper~ent, modification which requires a few measurements of N and Dr at the site. Auth.

Publ Cambridge, Mass: MIT, 1981 A study of n~tural fracturing in granitic rock was comducted at the Stripa mine, Sweden, as part of thermomechanical experiments on %~lerg r o u ~ nuclear w a s t e stc~a~e. Two objectives were involved: (i) identification of maJc~ geologic features ( ~ i n g heater tests), eg faults, shear zones, dikes, which could then be described geometrically fcr input into n~e~ical models of the rock mass, and (2) provision of statistical i~formation on the Jointing (orientation, spacing, persistence) between ma~er features from which equivalent continuum properties could be estima~.
The method involves the measurement of fracture nets ar~ allows quick computation of the global density of fractures and the directional density curve of the fracture net.

These uncertainties are modelled in a probabilistic manner and a new probabilistic model for ~ a s u r e d nndrained strength is proposed for normally consolidated or li@htly overconsolidated clay. It is concluded (based on comparison with actual data) that the model can well predict the parameters of in situ undrained strength based on measured undrained strength.

OF SPT-N AND RELATIVE DENSITY Fard~s, M N; Veneziano, D J Geotee_h Er~I~ Div ASCE, VI07, NGTIO, Oct 1981, P13~5-1359
A consistent set of models is developed for inference of the relative density (Dr) from the blowcount rA~mber of the SPT (N) under both laberatc~ and field corzlitions. The model in the laboratory (reference model) is based on a large data set, which consists of essentially all available laboratory information on Joint measurements of N, Dr and vertical effective stress. It takes explicitly into account errors in the laboratory determination of ~r and is of a form which makes its use particularly simple.
