Probabilistic and Statistical Methods for Determining Rock Mass Deformability Beneath Foundations: An Overview,
Abstract
This report ignores larger questions of site exploration and characterization and concentrates instead on the more restrictive problem of determining rock mass deformability at a point given some set of quantitive parameters for the rock at that point. Emphasis will be on predictive methods and on those descriptive methods that provide insight into the fundamental mechanisms underlying the mass behavior. The focus of the discussion will be the rock foundation problem. Methods that deal with rock deformability for other types of problems will also be mentioned if they provide additional insight.
