What it is about

The paper proposes a methodology for building three-dimensional geotechnical models of the rock mass using geostatistical techniques that account for the anisotropy of geotechnical data. The model is then used to define the parameters that identify geotechnical zones with potential risk.

Why it matters

A well-supported 3D geotechnical model improves ground characterization and decision-making in slope design and mine planning.
