Projection

To define the stability aspects of a rock mass, such as the orientation characteristics of the joints, there is the need for the representation of a large number of geological data. The spherical projections represent a very effective method to use the data in the stability analysis. They allow to represent the surface of a sphere on a plane, whereas the projection in the lower hemisphere (usually) or in the upper one.
