Geological and geometric modelling of the discontinuity network of a granite rock mass... The quality of the model can be checked by a procedure of fictive boreholes in a simulated volume. The Simbloc(CGI) [Centre de géologie de l'ingénieur] software produces an analysis of connectivity which provides the block size distribution of the rock mass and an index of anisotropy of the positioning of the circumscribed polyhedrons. Subsequently, it is possible to make useful forecasts for a more closely targeted reconnaissance of the architecture of the rock mass thanks to new boreholes conducted from the surface. 1, record 5, English, - block%20size%20distribution

GESDEC pour GEStion de préDECoupage est une méthodologie de suivi et de contrôle de qualité de prédécoupage basée sur le positionnement exact en X, Y, Z des traces des forages. Ce positionnement est effectué par photogrammétrie frontale rapprochée. Cette méthodologie peut être couplée avec 3D.BLOC pour optimiser les techniques de prédécoupage, le processus d'excavation et l'obtention d'une blocométrie de référence à l'abattage. Exemples d'applications opérationnelles récentes : - Maîtrise d'œuvre des carrières de Saint Nabor (Bas Rhin). - Maîtrise d'œuvre de la mise en sécurité du vallon Saint Pons à Gémenos (Bouches du Rhône). Quelques domaines d'application : - Surveillance des talus autoroutiers ou SNCF. - Surveillance et purge des masses rocheuses instables. - Terrassements en milieu rocheux. - Optimisation de terrassements. - Contrôle de qualité de prédécoupage. - Contrôle des quantités terrassées ou extraites. - Exploitation et mise en sécurité de carrières. 4, record 5, French, - blocom%C3%A9trie
