Abstract
We present a technique to analyze dip-strike data to estimate a geologic structure in a previous study, in which some technical and geological problems are left unsolved. In this study, we have solved some geological problems which are to take the lateral discontinuity of the structure into account and use levels of bedding plane as input data. And also, we tried to extend the technique to more general problems that the structure consists of vertically different geologic units. We show the technique revised and some artificial and actual examples analyzed to check its validity and applicability.
