A study of the relationship between two-dimensional and three-dimensional roughness parameters
摘要
The roughness of rock discontinuities is a crucial parameter that influences mechanical properties. Many scholars have proposed different roughness parameters from both 2D and 3D perspectives. 3D roughness parameters capture more detailed discontinuity surface undulations, while 2D parameters remain popular due to their easier measurement and simpler calculations. However, systematic investigations into the correlations between 2D and 3D roughness parameters using the same evaluation method are notably lacking. In this study, three natural discontinuities were selected, and their point cloud data were obtained. The roughness of each discontinuity was evaluated based on three sets of parameters (
