The use of the rock mass variability index in material property selection for pit slope stability modelling

The primary aim of this research is to put forward a new process which would enhance the methodology which rock mechanics practitioners apply to formulate material parameters for the purpose of slope stability modelling. Often a great deal of emphasis is placed on the actual modelling process itself...
