OrderGrading standardGeological type and propertyGeological evaluation

IFault with greater than 1000 m extension length and greater than 0.5 m broken band widthWeak structure plane;
continuous distribution throughout the bank and both sides
It controlled the boundary of the whole slope stability

II100 m~1000 m extension length and 0.2~0.5 m broken band widthWeak structural plane;
not completely cutting the slope
It controlled the potential weak surface;
weak surface affected rock strength and deformation

IIIFault and the growing crack with less than 100 m extension length and less than 0.5 m broken zone widthRigid structural plane;
fault filled with rock fragments and breccias;
crack filled with calcite
It influenced the integrity and the overall strength of the rock mass
