The RMi system is based on defined inherent parameters of the rock mass and is obtained by combining the compressive strength of intact rock and a jointing parameter. The jointing parameter represents the main jointing features, namely block volume (or density ...

The Rock Mass index, RMi, has been developed to satisfy a need for a strength characterization of rock masses for use in rock engineering and design. The method gives a measure of the reduction of intact rock strength caused by discontinuities given by RMi ...

The mining rock-mass rating (MAMA) classification system was introduced in 1974 as a development of the CSIA geomechanics classification system to cater for diverse mining situations. The fundamental difference was the recognition that in situ rock-mass ratings ...
