Download or read book Rock Mass Classification written by B. Singh and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1999-05-05 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rock Mass Classifications - A Practical Approach in Civil Engineering was written in response to the many unanswered questions regarding this subject. Questions such as - Is Classification reasonably reliable? Can it be successful in crisis management of geohazards? Can a single Classification system be general for all rock structures? Is Classification a scientific approach? Laborious field research was undertaken in the Himalayan mountains by a team of scientists from the Central Mining Research Institute (CMRI), University of Roorkee (UOR), Central Soil and Material Research Station (CSMRS), U.P. Irrigation Research Institute (UPIRI), and Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI) to answer these questions. The results obtained from the research work were systematically compiled to produce this book which bears particular relevance to civil, mining and petroleum engineers and geologists.

Download or read book Engineering Rock Mass Classification written by R K Goel and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2011-08-09 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rock mass classification methods are commonly used at the preliminary design stages of a construction project when there is very little information. It forms the bases for design and estimation of the required amount and type of rock support and groundwater control measures. Encompassing nearly all aspects of rock mass classifications in detail, Civil Engineering Rock Mass Classification: Tunnelling, Foundations and Landsides provides construction engineers and managers with extensive practical knowledge which is time-tested in the projects in Himalaya and other parts of the world in complex geological conditions. 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 provides construction engineers, construction managers and mining engineers with the tools and methods to gather geotechnical data, either from rock cuts, drifts or core, and process the information for subsequent analysis. The goal is to use effective mapping techniques to obtain data can be used as input for any of the established rock classification systems. The book covers all of the commonly used classification methods including: Barton’s Q and Q’ systems, Bieniawski’s RMR, Laubscher’s MRMR and Hoek’s and GSI systems. With this book in hand, engineers will be able to gather geotechnical data, either from rock cuts, drifts or core, and process the information for subsequent analysis. Rich with international case studies and worked out equations, the focus of the book is on the practical gathering information for purposes of analysis and design. Identify the most significant parameters influencing the behaviour of a rock mass Divide a particular rock mass formulation into groups of similar behaviour, rock mass classes of varying quality Provide a basis of understanding the characteristics of each rock mass class Relate the experience of rock conditions at one site to the conditions and experience encountered at others Derive quantitative data and guidelines for engineering design Provide common basis for communication between engineers and geologists
Download or read book Practical Handbook of Rock Mass Classification Systems and Modes of Ground Failure written by Andy Afrouz and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1992-06-10 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practical Handbook of Rock Mass Classification Systems and Modes of Ground Failure is a comprehensive, yet concise, guide to 16 of the most important rock classification systems and their failure modes. The book discusses these systems in relation to the design of excavations and ground reinforcement/support under passive, active, static, and dynamic mining conditions. This includes rock testing assessment, surface and underground site investigation, and any practical activity that deals with the physical and mechanical properties of rocks. The book is an excellent professional reference for geoscientists, technicians, and geological engineers doing research and consulting in mining, geological, civil, and petroleum resource fields.
