Discontinuity Analysis at Ruschita Marble Quarry Using Televiewer and Scanline Techniques

Abstract Stone blocks, such as marble, granite, and sandstone, are natural materials with excellent properties. The most important dimension stone in Romania is Ruschita a known for its resistance to wear ability maintain beauty, regardless of colour. Regarding colour palette, marble stands out quality suit even the demanding requirements. It available shades yellowish, orange, pale pink or pink, compact structure characteristic veining. Romania’s famous deposit, exploited since end 19 th century. quarry exploitation conditioned by naturally occurring fractures discontinuities, faults, joints, fissures, precluding larger blocks excavating more significant commercial value. This paper describes two largely used techniques discontinuity investigation, namely televiewer scanline methods at quarry.
