Directional rock mass rating (DRMR) for anisotropic rock mass characterization

Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment, 2021
Rock mass classification systems are used to categorize and estimate the role of the most significant parameters influencing rock mass behavior to represent an equivalent continuum. Generally, in these methods, the impact of the related parameters is considered uniform in all directions.

A New Rock Mass Quality Rating System: Rock Mass Quality Rating (RMQR) and Its Application to the Estimation of Geomechanical Characteristics of Rock Masses

Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering, 2013
The qualitative description of rock masses by means of classification systems and subsequent correlation to establish engineering quantities or design parameters has become one of the most challenging topics in rock engineering. Many rock mass classification systems have been proposed for rock masses with the consideration of a particular rock ...

Modified rock mass classification system by continuous rating

Engineering Geology, 2003
It is not the purpose of this paper to propose a new rock mass classification system but rather to improve the existing ones by incorporating some simple quantitative interpretations. The geomechanics classification system of naturally fractured rock masses is modified to decrease personal judgement involved in its calculation.

Performance prediction of hard rock TBM using Rock Mass Rating (RMR) system

Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology, 2010
Abstract RMR is a simple rock mass classification system and is often used for characterization and design purposes in preliminary stages of mining and civil engineering practices. However, the use of RMR in providing a precise predictive model of TBM field penetration index (FPI) is very limited due to the nature of the ratings (weights) assigned to

Continuous functions and a computer application for Rock Mass Rating

International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences, 2020
Abstract Rock Mass Rating (RMR) is a widely used rock mass classification system to assess the quality/condition of rock masses for tunnels, mines, slopes and foundations. The RMR system has been successfully practiced for more than four decades in the civil and rock engineering projects worldwide. Even though RMR is responsive, economic and adaptive,

An Empirical Relationship between Rock Structure Rating and Rock Mass Rating

Geotechnical Testing Journal, 2006
Abstract Prediction of support pressures for underground openings is one of the most difficult tasks in rock engineering. The difficulties associated with the selection of reliable material properties, laws of material behavior, stress environment, etc. (which are essential for satisfactory application of analytical methods and numerical
