A New Method to Estimate the Joint Roughness Coefficient by Back Calculation of Shear Strength

The joint roughness coefficient (JRC) is an important factor affecting the shear properties of rock joints, and its accurate estimation is a challenging task in rock engineering. Existing JRC evaluation approaches such as the empirical comparison method and the statistical parameter method have some...
