Estimation of the rock deformation modulus and RMR based on data mining techniques [PDF]
In this work Data Mining tools are used to develop new and innovative models for the estimation of the rock deformation modulus and the Rock Mass Rating (RMR). A database published by Chun et al. (2008) was used to develop these models. The parameters of

ROCK MASS QUALITY EFFECTED BY LINEAMENT USING ROCK MASS RATING (RMR)– CASE STUDY FROM FORMER QUARRY SITE [PDF]
Lineament plays major role in stability and strength of rock mass. The presence of lineaments will decrease the strength of rock mass. Lineament can be identified or trace using topographic map, aerial photographs or satellite images. In this research,
