<p>The tunnel squeezing phenomenonwas first described byTerzaghi (1946)who associated squeezing mainly with clay-rich rocks. Consistent with Terzaghi’s original description, the focus of this paper is on tunnels in clays and clay-rich rocks such as clayshales. ...

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 RMi (rock mass index) system is based on well defined inherent rock mass parameters. Basically, it combines the compressive strength of intact rock and a jointing parameter composed of 4 jointing characteristics, namely block volume or densþ of joints, ...
