ABSTRACT
Fractal Geometry is a theory to analysis nonlinear phenomena, which has been founded in recent 10 years. It regards irregular geometry as research objects, it was founded by B.B Mandelbrot in 1976. He thought, fractal dimension could applied in disposing of crack and irregular problems, it is beyond concept of traditional integral dimension. According to research results, rockmass structure appears irregular, factually it has formal regularity, i.e. self similar statistics, it is a typical structure. So this paper apply fractal geometry in analyzing characters of rockmss, and obtain good results.
KEYWORDS: Fractal Geometry, Irregular Problems, analysis characteristics of rockmass
