Geological strength index-slope: an adaptation of the geological strength index system for use in the rock slope stability assessment

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Geology, 2023
The Geological Strength Index (GSI) system is the basis of parameters used in the Hoek-Brown failure criterion for rock mass strength estimation. The author tested this system and here suggests a modified GSI called Geological Strength Index-slope ...

Slope Mass Rating (SMR) Classification for Rock Slope Stability and Geohazard Vulnerability Assessment

open access: yesInternational Journal of Integrated Engineering, 2022
Quantitative classification from the Slope Mass Rating (SMR) has introduced an empirical assessment for rock slope stability rating. This stability classification enables us to foreseethe magnitude and susceptibility of rock mass failure towards adjacent infrastructure and human life.

Learning curves and changing product attributes: the case of wind turbines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The heuristic concept of learning curves describes cost reductions as a function of cumulative production. A study of the Liberty shipbuilders suggested that product quality and production scale are other relevant factors that affect costs.

Comparison of Slope Mass Ratings Classification Systems: A Review

open access: yes, 2021
Abstract Engineering rock mass classifications are vital for empirical approach to evaluate and predict engineering behavior of a rock mass. Now well established empirical relations between behavior of the rock mass and the rock mass properties with regard to specific engineering applications have become an important tool for resolving many geo-
