Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The application of spectral analysis to the random σθ(θRo) function was effective for the characteristics of small-scale heterogeneities.

  2. 2.

    The results of analysis of detailed measurements of a 15-m mine segment did not reveal any clearly separable level in the hierarchy of heterogeneities in the mass, which could be seen in the characteristic features of the mine's surface relief.

  3. 3.

    It is expedient to use the resultant simple spectral characteristics of perimeter roughness to select the layout of the design profiles, and to evaluate the strength of the excavation, its stability, and the probability of the rejection of a different scale.

The authors consider it their duty to extend thanks to V. F. Pisarenko and A. F. Kushnir for their assistance in the computations and review of the paper.
