Resumen
The results of more than 1000 simulations carried out using the 5/MFRAC Programme, on fracture generation in rocks is presented in this paper. A numerical simulation method has been used to predict connectivity of fractured rock masses. In ali simulations performed there is a threshold of fracture density, below which fractures are poorly connected with no percolation. Where fracture density is at the Perco/ation Threshold, a continuous and connected Fracture Cluster is developed starting the percolation of the system. The geometrical configuration of the Critica/ Fracture Cluster is determined by his fractal dimension, which consequently may be used to measure the connectivity of fractured rock masses.
