Selection of Optimal Threshold of Generalised Rock Quality Designation Based on Modified Blockiness Index
Rock quality designation (RQD) is a critical index for quantifying the degree of rock mass jointing; it is widely used for evaluating the qualities and stabilities of engineering rock masses. However, the use of traditional RQD may yield inaccurate assessments because only core pieces longer than 10...
