Abstract Through analysis of geometrical characteristics,engineering rock-mass is divided into three basic types,continuous non-folded rock-mass,non-continuous non-folded rock-mass and folded rock-mass. An appropriate spatial data model for 3D modeling of non-continuous non-folded rock-mass is proposed,and its corresponding data structure is constructed. A surface modeling technique is developed for building this kind of rock-mass. By using the OpenGL technique,a visual modeling system is developed and used to construct the 3D visual model of rock-mass for a given geotechnical engineering.
