Engineering Application of Rock Mass Classifications Systems 20 RMR SYSTEM This rating system was proposed by Bieniawski 1973 1976 and 1989 for use in design of tunnels in hard and soft rock A revision was made in 1989 to reflect more data collected Six parameters are used to classify a rockmass using the RMR system that is Uniaxial
Most of the multi parameter rock mass classification systems were developed from civil engineering case histories Those that are commonly used in rock mechanics to assist designing in infrastructure are the following Rock Load Classification Introduced by Terzaghi in 1946 the system evaluates the impact of rock load on steel supported tunnels based on a descriptive
The rock mass index RMi was first presented by Palmstr 246 m in 1995 and has been further developed and presented in several papers It is a volumetric parameter indicating the approximate uniaxial compressive strength of a rock mass andit can thus be compared with the GSI value The RMi value is applied as input
Rock Mass Rating Bieniawski 1976 published the details of a rock mass classification called the Geomechanics Classification or the Rock Mass Rating RMR system Over the years this system has been successively re fined as more case records have been examined and the reader should be aware that Bieniawski has made significant changes in the

Rock Mass Rating System IRMR in the year 2000 A quantitative comparison of the MRMR and IRMR Classification Systems has been undertaken to determine a correlation between the two classification systems the results of which indicate that there is not a major difference between the resultant rock mass rating values derived from the two Classification Systems
on the rock mass and its stress and hydrologic characteristics the 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
The empirical method of Rock Mass Rating RMR Q system is often utilised for the rock mass classification of tunnel projects The proposed system includes visual judgement of the rock material and rock mass with a relatively wide range of definition contrary to the RMR or Q system One of the empirical methods of Geological Strength Index GSI also includes similar
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
The Rock Mass Rating RMR classification system was developed by Bieniawski 10 in 1973 and after several modifications the 1989 version is the most used in rock engineer ing practice 19 This classification system has been refined over several years and its characterization method has been revised from its creation onward The last modification of this classification
