A New Statistical Parameter for Determining Joint Roughness Coefficient (JRC) considering the Shear Direction and Contribution of Different Protrusions

The mechanical properties of joints are important factors affecting the safety and stability of rock mass. The joint roughness coefficient (JRC) is a parameter for describing the roughness morphology of the joint surface, and its accurate quantification is very important to predict the shear strengt...
