The propagation characteristics of blast-induced shock waves in a jointed rock mass have been monitored and studied. Accelerometers were set up on a rock surface along three lines, at 0Њ, 45Њ and 90Њ with respect to the orientation of the predominant joint strikes. Cylindrical charges were detonated

Use of indirect estimation methods for some rock mass parameter is considered traditionally in the rock mechanics applications. Generally, the regression based-statistical methods are used to develop an empirical equation. However, new techniques such as artificial neural networks, fuzzy inference s

Key block methods based on ubiquitous approaches have been widely used over the past 30 years to perform rapid analyses of rock mass stability. Although these methods have meant a great step forward, they only consider pyramidal key blocks. This paper provides a new geometrical method for identifyi

Where closely jointed rock masses are encountered in slopes, failure can occur both through the rock mass, as a result of combination of macro and micro jointing, and through the rock substance. Determination of the strength of this category of rock mass is extraordinarily dicult since the size of r
