THE INFLUENCE OF CLASSIFICATION PARAMETERS UNCERTAINTY ON ROCK MASS QUALITY ASSESSMENT
The construction of underground objects is a very complex task that takes into account a large number of input parameters that affect the process of building and stability of underground objects during the exploatation. Engineering geological and geotechnical characteristics of the rock mass represent the basic input data for the development of an adequate model and assessment of the quality of the rock mass, and thus the assessment of the primary support that will ensure the stability of the rock mass during construction. In order to more clearly define the quality of rock mass as a working environment, various classifications have been developed in the world that analyze the influencing factors and give an assessment of the quality of rock mass. Uniaxial compression strength and the influence of groundwater appear as parameters in the RMR classification of rock mass. The paper presents the problems of adequate definition of uniaxial compression strength parameters and influence of groundwater in construction of road tunnels.
