Attempting to fully analyse all the main defects found in 18th and early 19th-century properties would be an overly ambitious task for a paper of this scope. Rather, this paper puts forward the proposition that it would be instructive for practitioners to consider defects in relation

Must know the spacing, orientation, roughness of these weak links in order to accurately assess strength of the rock mass. ! Many variations and it s impossible to ...
