The reliability of rock mass classification systems as underground excavation support design tools

This thesis examines the reliability of rock mass classification systems available for underground excavation support design. These methods are sometimes preferred to rational methods of support design particularly if detailed information required for the latter mentioned methods is lacking. The cla...
