The geological strength index: applications and limitations

Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment, 2005
The geological strength index (GSI) is a system of rock-mass characterization that has been developed in engineering rock mechanics to meet the need for reliable input data, particularly those related to rock-mass properties required as inputs into numerical analysis or closed form solutions for designing tunnels, slopes or foundations in rocks.

The Geological Strength Index

2020
A rock mass failure criterion would have no practical value unless it could be linked to geological description that could be made easily by engineering geologists. The geological strength index (GSI) is a rock mass classification system that has been developed in rock engineering to meet the need of estimating reliable rock mass properties for the ...

Geological influence on the index properties variability and shear strength probability density functions

Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology, 2021
Determining soil properties variability in geotechnical engineering is one of the most important tasks in reliability-based designs (RBDs). However, these analyses have been carried without taking into account the influence of the geological origin on the different aspects that alter the soil properties variability. Therefore, two types of

Estimation of REV for fractured rock masses based on Geological Strength Index

International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences, 2020
Abstract The representative elementary volume (REV) of fractured rock masses is a significant index to investigate the rock mass behaviors in the continuum mechanics . In this research, a new indicator to estimate the REV size of fractured rock masses based on the Geological Strength Index (GSI) is proposed.
