Pillar stability is always evaluated using the safety factor (SF), which is defined as the ratio of pillar strength to pillar stress. However, most researchers have estimated pillar stress using the pillar shape ratio (w/h), uniaxial compressive strength

This paper initially provides a practical example on how to estimate a bias-free volumetric fracture count (VFC—fractures/m3) in a tunnel and incorporate it into a new and unified volumetric-based Geological Strength Index (V-GSI) chart. The quantified V-

Implementation of probabilistic approach to rock mass strength estimation while excavating through fault zones [PDF]
Purpose. The paper addresses the rock mass state estimation while excavating a cross-heading through the area of regional fault “Bohdanivskyi” based on probabilistic approach to assessing the rock strength. Methods.

GROUND VIBRATIONS LEVEL CHARACTERIZATION THROUGH THE GEOLOGICAL STRENGTH INDEX (GSI)
This paper analyses results of trial, construction and quarry blasting, carried out in sediment rock deposits, mainly limestone and dolomite, at the different locations in Republic Croatia. The division of the three test groups was based on the lithology changes and GSI values of the rock units at these locations.

Characterization and mechanical properties of the Eocene Buda Marl [PDF]
The mechanical behavior of the Buda Marl lies between those of rock and soil; it is therefore appropriate to define it as both weak rock and strong soil: some marl types behave like a weak rock and others like soil.

Strength of massive to moderately jointed hard rock masses
The Hoek-Brown (HB) failure criterion and the geological strength index (GSI) were developed for the estimation of rock mass strength in jointed and blocky ground where rock mass failure is dominated by sliding along open joints and rotation of rock ...

Suatu konstruksi yang memerlukan pekerjaan galian tanah (batuan) membutuhkan perencanaan yang baik karena sisi-sisi galian akan terbentuk lereng. Faktor Keamanan (FK) suatu lereng dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor, salah satunya adalah nilai Geological Strength Index (GSI) dan Uniaxial Compressive Strength (UCS).
