A Systematic Determination of Engineering Criteria for Rock.
Abstract
This Systematic Determination of Engineering Criteria for Rock was developed to provide a language which presents the engineering characteristics of a particular rock in a brief, concise and relevant manner. The system combines the lithology and the mechanical properties of the intact rock to make the information more meaningful and useful to engineers and contractors. Data was obtained and accurately determined from field index tests performed at the borehole sites. Examples of the use of the proposed criteria are illustrated by use of previously published data and from field information. (Modified author abstract)
