Rock mass properties Introduction Reliable estimates of the strength and deformation characteristics of rock masses are required for almost any form of analysis used for the design of slopes foundations and underground excavations Hoek and Brown 1980a 1980b proposed a method for obtaining estimates of the strength of jointed rock masses based upon an
Rock Mass Classification is the process of placing a rock mass into groups or classes on defined relationships Bieniawski 1989 and assigning a unique description or number to
Rock mass classification systems have gained wide attention and are frequently used in rock engineering and design However all of these systems have limitations but applied appropriately and with care they are valuable tools The paper describes the history of the Q system that was introduced in 1974 and its later development
However modern rock mass classifications have never been intended as the ultimate solution to design problems but only a means toward this end In fact some 15 years ago when work started on the major rock mass classification schemes in use today the tunneling scene worldwide was often characterize by limited site investigation programs and even more
Rock mass classification 3 Classifications involving stand up time Lauffer 1958 proposed that the stand up time for an unsupported span is related to the quality of the rock mass in which the span is excavated In a tunnel the unsupported span is defined as the span of the tunnel or the distance between the face and the nearest support
2011 08 09 nbsp 0183 32 Rock mass classification is an essential element of feasibility studies for any near surface construction project prior to any excavation or disturbances made to earth Written by an author team with over 50 years of experience in some of the most difficult mining regions of the world Civil Engineering Rock Mass Classification Tunnelling Foundations and Landsides
Rock mass is a matrix consisting of rock material and rock discontinuities Its characterization and classification aim to determine the rock mass characteristics by assigning values to a set of rock parameters The behavior of intact rock material can be determined by continuum mechanics but rock masses are usually highly fractured
Short on the RMR Rock Mass Rating system This engineering classification system which was developed by Bieniawski in 1973 utilises the following six rock mass parameters 1 Uniaxial compressive strength of intact rock material 2 Rock quality designation RQD 3 Spacing of discontinuities 4 Condition of discontinuities given as
The rock mass is classified Chapter 6 Rock Mass Properties and Classifications 2 into 9 classes from hard and intact rock to blocky and to squeezing rock The concept used in this classification

Rock Mass Classification Philosophy of Engineering Classifications The science of classification is called taxonomy it deals with the Rock Mass Number One of the reasons rock mass classifications is popular over the years because they are easy to use Underground Structures for
use of a rock mass classification scheme can be of considerable benefit At its simplest this may involve using the classification scheme as a check list to ensure that all relevant information has been considered At the other end of the spectrum one or more rock mass classification schemes can be used to build up a picture of the composition and
Grouting is a technique of injecting a fluid grout into the rock mass to replace the air or water present in its fissures and cracks The grout consists of a mixture of cement and water However sand clay rock fly ash and other similar materials can be used as a replacement to cement As a result the cost of stabilization work reduces especially where fissures and
rock mass if discontinuities are widely spaced or if the intact rock material is inherently weak or altered Dis continuities within a rock mass therefore reduce its strength and stability and reduce the energy required to excavate or erode it It is important to recognize that many rock properties interact under performance conditions A
Rock Mass Classification is the process of placing a rock mass into groups or classes on defined relationships Bieniawski 1989 and assigning a unique description or num ber to it on the basis of similar properties characteristics such that the behavior of the rock mass can be predicted Rock mass is referred to an assemblage of rock material separated by rock

Rock mass properties are comprised of features gener ally observed measured and documented in the field for in place rock Discontinuities are distinct breaks or interruptions in the integrity of a rock mass that convert a rock mass into a discontinuous assemblage of blocks plates or irregular discrete rock particles A discrete rock
