A tolerance-based framework for optimizing profile sampling intervals in joint infilling assessment and shear strength prediction

The accurate assessment of joint infilling is critical for reliably estimating the shear strength of rock masses. While common practice often follows the International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM) suggestion of using a sampling interval ( ∆L ) equal to 2% of the total sample...
