 Rock Mass Rating (RMR)
Case:
A tunnel is to be driven through a slightly weathered Granite with a dominant joint set dipping at 60 o
against the direction of the drive. Index testing and logging of diamond drilled core give typical point-load
strength index values of 8 MPa and average RQD values of 70%. The slightly rough and slightly
weathered joints with a separation of <1 mm, are spaced at 300 mm. Tunneling condition are anticipated
to be wet.
Condition of discontinuity:
1. 1-3 m discontinuity length.
2. Separation 0,1-1 mm.
3. slightly rough.
4. No infilling. And slightly weathered

Solution:
To classify the rock mass, we must use RMR (Rock Mass Rating). In this case, I use RMR from
bieniawski 1989.
Table 1. Parameters of rock mass rating (Bieniawski, 1989)

1. Strength of intact rock material
The case above mention that the mass of rock has strength index value about 8 MPa from point-load
analysis. Hence, the rating of the rock mass is 12
2. RQD (Rock Quality Designation)
The RQD value of the rock mass is 70% and the rating is 13
3. Spacing of Discountinuities
Space between the joint of the rock mass is about 30 cm. so, the rating for this parameter is 10
4. Condition of Discontinuities
For this parameter we could see the table below:
Table 2. Condition of discontinuities

The case mention that the length of discontinuity is 1-3 m (Rating = 4), with separation 0,1-1 mm
(Rating = 4), no infilling (Rating = 6), Slightly Rough (Rating = 3) and Slightly weathered (Rating = 5).
Thus, the total rating for this parameter is 22
5. Ground Water
The case mention that the condition of the tunnel anticipated to be wet so the rating for this parameter
is 7.
6. Discontinuity Orientation
To rating this parameter, we should see tables below:
Table 3. Discontinuity Orientation Effect

The dominant joint set in the case dipping at 60o against the direction of the drive. so, for this
condition, the orientation of discontinuity is fair.
Table 4. Rating of Discontiuity Orientation Effect

Thus, The rating for the parameter is -5.

 The result for the total rating from all parameters is 12 + 13 + 10 + 22 + 7 - 5 = 59. so, the rock mass
classified as a fair rock (Class III). Class III has stand-up time.about 1 week for 5m span, cohesion about
200-300 KPa and friction angle about 25-35o.
