| Description | The use of 3D joint network models can better capture the complexity of a rock mass than traditional rock mass characterization systems. This paper presents a methodology for developing such networks based on field data. The generated 3D models are directly integrated into limit equilibrium and stress analysis software packages allowing for stability analysis. The use of 3D joint network models can better capture the complexity of a rock mass than traditional rock mass characterization systems. This chapter presents a methodology for developing such networks based on field data. It provides a survey of work on implementing 3D joint networks to geomechanical problems. The generated 3D models are directly integrated into limit equilibrium and stress analysis software packages allowing for stability analysis. Stereoblock has been successfully employed to generate 3D joint networks for several underground drifts in Canadian hard rock mines. These data were subsequently exported to an in-house developed structural analysis package where it is possible to visualize all possible wedges that can form on the back or sides of a drift driven through the rock mass. It is felt that this approach provides a useful design tool that can facilitate the selection of optimal excavation dimensions as well as suitable reinforcement.
