Rock Mass Classification

Rock Mass Classification is a systematic evaluation procedure used in rock mechanics to categorize rock masses based on their intrinsic geological and geomechanical properties, structural characteristics, and environmental conditions, thereby differentiating intact rock from structurally weakened rock masses for engineering design and stability assessment purposes.
