Although the modulus of deformation of rock masses has crucial importance for geotechnical projects, such as tunnels and dams, the determination of this parameter by in situ tests requires considerable costs and involves difficult operational processes. For this reason, empirical equations for the i

The ultimate strength and deformation of jointed rock mass are important parameters that designers look for in selecting sites for foundations of civil and mining engineering structures in rocks. In the field, it is extremely difficult to stress a rock mass to its ultimate failure stress. Consequent
