Jurassic granite from Geochang was analysed with respect to the characteristics of the rock cleavage. we have mainly discussed the structual anisotropy formed by microcracks. The phases of distribution of microcracks were well evidenced from the enlarged photomicrographs(× 6.7) of the thin section. The planes of principal set of microcracks are parallel to the rift plane and those of secondary set are parallel to the grain plane. These rift and grain microcracks are mutually near-perpendicular on the hardway planes. From the directional angle(θ) -total length(L t ), number(N) and density(ρ) chart, the curve patterns of the above microcrack parameters reflect the phases of distribution of microcracks. Microcrack parameters such as number, length and density show an order of rift > grain > hardway. These results indicate a relative magnitude of the rock cleavage. Meanwhile, brazilian tensile strengths were measured with respect to the six directions. The results revealed a strong correlation between mechanical property with the above microcrack parameters. These general results correspond to those of the previous study for Jurassic granites from Pocheon and Hapcheon. Image processing technique for the enlarged photomicrograph of the thin section was carried out. The grain 1(G1) microcrack arrays developed in quartz and feldspar grains show excellent distribution on the photomicrograph. In particular, the directional angle of each microcrack set can be ascertained easily by brief image processing for the above photomicrograph.

The phases of distribution of microcracks were well evidenced from the enlarged photomicrographs(×6.7) of the thin section. In this study, the length -cumulative frequency diagrams were used for expressing the distribution characteristics of microcrack. The diagrams for the six directions were arranged in the magnitude of density(ρ). These diagrams show an order of H2 < H1 < G2 < G1 < R2 < R1 from the related chart. Among six diagrams, the diagram for hardway 2(H2) occupies the lowermost region on the left. On the contrary, the diagram for rift 1(R1) occupies the uppermost region on the right. Curve patterns of the two diagrams change from uniform to exponential distribution type in accordance with the increased density. The overall distribution characteristics of the diagrams were well evidenced from the magnitude of the exponent(λ) and length of line oa related to the exponential straight line. The magnitude of exponent governing the values of slope(θ) is inversely proportional to the values of microcrack parameters such as number(N), length(L) and density. On the contrary, length of line oa is directly proportional to the values of the above three parameters. Above microcrack parameters related to
