Abstract
The block dimensions were assessed using a measuring tape and a folding rule, partly by abseiling. The mapping of the block and its surrounding included consideration of the degree of fragmentation of the block itself and of the surrounding rock mass. Due to the subsequent stability analysis of the whole block the joint persistence was recorded in detail from the out- and inside. Based on the field data a 3D-visualization of the block was developed, showing the dominating joint sets influencing a possible fragmentation scenario.
