A Study on the Uncertainty of the Classification of Rook Mass Rating
Lee Sang-Eun, Jun Sung-Kwon, Sang-Jin Kang · Tunnel and Underground Space · 2005
It is the unavoidable problem that the RMR rock classification method has the uncertainty resulted from uncertain definition of measured value in RMR grade table, hence in this paper, the estimation of probability density function graph with the evaluation of continuos RMR and the Monte Carlo Simulation and statistic reasoning were carried out to evaluate the uncertainty quantitatively. Also, the modified RMR rock classification table was presented in order to apply the uncertainty of RMR to the practice, and then the design process of standard support pattern and the tunnel support material was proposed.
