Transcript Classification systems in slope stability analysis

Classification systems in slope stability analysis
• Slope Mass Rating (SMR)
• Chinese Slope Mass Rating System (CSMR)
• Rock slope rating (RSR)
• Slope stability rating (SSR) classification system
• Dump mass rating
Slope Mass Rating (SMR)
SMR = RMR + (F1 .F2 . F3) + F4
The RMR is computed according to Bieniawski’s 1979 proposal,
adding rating values for five parameters:
•
•
•
•
•
Strength of intact rock;
RQD (measured or estimated);
Spacing of discontinuities;
Condition of discontinuities; and
Water inflow through discontinuities
Where ‘A ‘denotes the angle between the strikes of slope face and joint.
(B)
where B denotes joint dip angle. For toppling mode of failure, F2 remains 1.
F3 reflects the relationship between the slope face and the joint dip.
F4 is a factor for the method of excavation. The adjustment factor for the method of excavation
has been fixed empirically as follows:
