Fractal geometry of two-dimensional fracture networks at Yucca Mountain, southwestern Nevada: proceedings
Description:
Fracture traces exposed on three 214- to 260-m{sup 2} pavements in the same Miocene ash-flow tuff at Yucca Mountain, southwestern Nevada, have been mapped at a scale of 1:50. The maps are two-dimensional sections through the three-dimensional network of strata-bound fractures. All fractures with trace lengths greater than 0.20 m were mapped. The distribution of fracture-trace lengths is log-normal. The fractures do not exhibit well-defined sets based on orientation. Since fractal characterizati…
