Characteristics Analysis of Generalized Rock Quality Designation (RQD) Based on Degree of Joint Development

Rock quality designation (RQD) is widely adopted as a fundamental tool in characterizing rock masses since it was devised in 1964. Since the conventional RQD calculation is limited due to its dependence on the selected threshold, previous research introduced generalized RQD to adequately reflect the...
