Summary Note	This book aims to estimate the macroscopic properties of fractures, fracture networks and fractured porous media from easily measurable quantities. Attention is focused on geological media where rocks are necessarily fractured at various scales by the slow but constant motion of continental masses. This book is situated between three disciplines. First, geology and geophysics provide most of the data and most applications; a characteristic feature is that one never has a complete knowledge of the studied objects — such as an oil reservoir — in contrast with a laboratory experiment where every quantity can be measured. Second, engineering develops the main tools of analysis for one- and two-phase flows, and calculations of permeability (absolute and relative). Third, statistical physics plays a major role in concepts such as the excluded volume, dimensionless density, percolation threshold and power laws. In view of this interdisciplinary character, the general results presented in this book may have unexpected applications in many different domains. This book is based on courses which have been taught in several countries at Master and Ph.D. levels in universities, in research centers and at conferences. It should provide, in a compact form, all the necessary tools to achieve the general objective. The mathematical level in this book has been kept as low as possible. The interested reader can always go further, thanks to the references that are provided, where the mathematical level is not restricted. The colloquial aspect of a course has been preserved where one tries to explain abstract concepts in simple terms.:
