| Description | The introduction of the “characteristic dimension” idea by Cuisiat & Haimson (1993) was an important step for the understanding of the causes of scale effects on the several rock mass properties. Subsequently Leal-Gomes (2000) introduced the idea of “hierarchy of heterogeneity”. The “hierarchic organization of heterogeneity” or the “hierarchization of heterogeneity” is the gradation of heterogeneity, its arrangement and its functional disposition under the actual state of stress on the samples with reference to a given rock property. Through adequate exemplification the author shows that without hierarchic organization of heterogeneity there isn't any scale effect on rock mass properties. He analyses under this viewpoint the scale effects on the uniaxial compressive strength, on the uniaxial tensile strength, on the rock mass strength, on the deformability of rocks, on the hydraulic conductivity of joints and rock masses, on the internal stresses in rock masses and on the rock mass joint strength.
