Includes bibliographical references and index.
Chapter 1: Quantitative Classifications. Chapter 2: Shear Zone Treatment in Tunnels and Foundations. Chapter 3: Rock Material. Chapter 4: Rock Quality Designation. Chapter 5: Terzaghi's Rock Load Theory. Chapter 6: Rock Mass Rating (RMR). Chapter 7: Prediction of Ground Conditions for Tunnelling. Chapter 8: Rock Mass Quality (Q) - System. Chapter 9: Rock Mass Number. Chapter 10: Rock Mass Index. Chapter 11: Rate of Tunnelling. Chapter 12: Support System in Caverns. Chapter 13: Strength Enhancement of Rock Mass in Tunnels. Chapter 14: Strength of Discontinuities. Chapter 15: Shear Strength of Rock Masses in Slopes. Chapter 16: Types of Rock Slope Failures. Chapter 17: Slope Mass Rating (SMR). Chapter 18: Allowable Bearing Pressure for Building Foundations. Chapter 19: Method of Excavation. Chapter 20: Rock Drillability. Chapter 21: Permeability and Groutability. Chapter 22: Gouge Material. Chapter 23: Engineering Properties of Hard Rock Masses. Chapter 24: Geological Strength Index (GSI). Chapter 25: Evaluation of Critical Rock Parameters. Chapter: 26: In situ Stresses
Rock mass classification methods are commonly used at the preliminary design stages of a construction project when there is very little information. Encompassing nearly various aspects of rock mass classifications in detail, this book provides practical knowledge which is time-tested in the projects in Himalaya and other parts of the world.
