THE INFLUENCE OF DISCONTINUITY FABRIC AND OTHER FACTORS ON OPTIMUM EXPLOITATION OF DIMENSION STONE
Ivan Tomašić
Abstract
Dimension stone as a specific nonmetallic raw material, regarding deposit conditions, exploitation methods and processing, demands an adequate estimate of dimensioning i.e. opti-malizalion of the exploitation in relation to the structural elements.
The analyzed and presented examples show that in natural conditions adaptation of the exploitation technology to the discontinuity fabric could result in considerable gains in utilization of rock mass in stone blocks, specialy if these blocks are cases of highly decorative stone with good physical and mechanical properties.
The calculated and presented diagrams fit well into world analysis trends concerning exploitation and processing of dimension stone, This is confirmed by the improvement of technology for smaller stone blocks can be exploited and processed profitably.
