  1. Some of technical terms and notations used in this table are defined as follows: volumetric intensity = number of discontinuity centres per rock volume; N(i, j2) = normal distribution, where i represents the mean and j the standard derivation; Exp(k) = exponential distribution, where k represents the mean; lnN(l, m2) = lognormal distribution, where l represents the location parameter and m the scale parameter; and U(n, p) = uniform distribution, where n represents the lower limit and p the upper limit.
