- Abstract
- A new technique to estimate the diameter distribution of a joint set from the contained trace length distribution is suggested. This
technique obtains the diameter distribution directly from the sample histogram of the contained trace lengths without using any
information about the trace length distribution of an infinite window. Compared with the previous method of Song and Lee [Estimation
of joint length distribution using window sampling. Int J Rock Mech Mining Sci 2001; 38: 519–28], it is more accurate for small-size joint
samples. To obtain more accurate estimates, we adopt an interpolation technique of B-spline to smooth out the sampled contained trace
length distribution. The effect of the B-spline as a function of three kinds of predefined diameter distributions is examined by Monte
Carlo simulations.
