However, a crucial stepin modelling is the determination of rock massmechanical properties, more precisely rock stiffness andstrength properties.

Papers where laboratoryand modelling properties are given have been selectedfrom the mass of more general modelling literature.More specifically papers that have reduced stiffnessand/or strength parameters from laboratory to fieldvalues ha

The result of the search hasbeen surprising: of the thousands of papers on numericalmodelling, a few hundred mention laboratory and rockmass properties, and of those, only some 40 appear toapply some kind of reduction. The papers that apply areduction have been used to produce the
5、graphs thatconstitute the main content of this paper. Rock stiffnessproperties have been separated from those of strength inthe analysis and this has illustrated interestingdifferences in their respective average reduction factors. METHODOLOGY The review conducted has studied case histories andback

The data can alternatively be plotted asreduction factors as in Fig. 3. Here a trend of increasedreduction factors for lo

A number of very high reduction factors canalso be seen for very low stiffness rocks.Figure 4 shows the uniaxial compressive strengthresults for laboratory tests plotted against those used inthe model. Each case is numbered against its source.There is a simple
12、 trend in these data and, if a straightline is fitted, model strength is on average 0.284 of thelaboratory strength (Fig. 5). The data can alternativelybe plotted as reduction factors as in Fig. 6. Here, a trendof increased reduction factors for weak rock typesbecomes apparent. Figure 7 illustrates

TECHNIQUES OF REDUCTION A number of authors have presented relations betweenlaboratory and in situ propert
14、ies. Some have includedrock mass ratings in their relations. The widely usedtechnique to derive deformation moduli is equation (1)presented by Bieniawski 38 for rocks having a RockMass Rating (RMR) greater than 50 with a predictionerror of 18.2%. However, when the RMR is less than orequal to 50, the
15、 Bieniawski formula is not applicable asit leads to values of deformation moduli less than orequal to zero. Serafim and Pereira 39 using theBieniawski Rock Mass Classification system (RMR)derived an alternative expression, equation (2), for theentire range of RMR. 2 1 0 0 ( )mE R M R G P a( 1)
