    Rock discontinuities are planes of separation that influence the hydraulic and mechanical behavior of rock masses because they are main conduits for fluid flow and sources of major deformations. Joints can be open fractures, or closed when chemical alteration or decomposition of materials heal the surfaces. Discontinuities in rock masses are significant, because they affect slope stability, underground excavations, and reservoir engineering. Here, Diaz et al characterize deep closed joint surfaces.
