| Abstract |
Fractures are caused by changes in stress patterns. The main objective of this study is to delineate and map fractures in a granitic body with the help of attribute algorithms. The data is a 3D GPR survey consisting of 24 parallel lines. Changes in the dielectric constant between the granite and the fracture fill (air or water) will produce a distinctive amplitude fracture response. Amplitude attribute algorithms allow the identification of fracture patterns. The resulting fracture interpretation is corroborated by the surface fracture data. |
