A review of the existence and behaviour of fractures (joints) and the use of fracture surface morphology (fractography), as a tool for resolving outstanding questions on jointing.
Though fractures (joints) are very common and have been studied widely, they are still the most enigmatic geologic structures. This book accepts this challenge and sets the problem on new footing. The method presented uses fingerprints of fracture surface morphology (fractography) as a tool in resolving outstanding questions on jointing. As fractures are essential for the characterization of rock deformation, and for inferring the past and present states of stress in them, they are also very useful in a variety of applications. The flow of ore-forming solutions and the migration paths of oil, gas, and water are controlled by intricate joint systems. Engineers designing large buildings, bridges, dams, or tunnels, and environmentalists who guard the safety of waste repositories must also consider the surface and subsurface fracture properties of the rock. This monograph on structural geology, soil and rock mechanics and petrography is intended for scientists, researchers, and post-graduate students.
