Applying rock mass classifications to carbonate rocks for engineering purposes with a new approach using the rock engineering system
Classical rock mass classification systems are not applicable to carbonate rocks, especially when these are affected by karst processes. Their applications to such settings could therefore result in outcomes not representative of the real stress–strain behavior. In this study, we propose a new class...
