DEFECT WAVINESS CALCULATOR
PSM’s free downloadable spreadsheet can be used to assess the geometry of defect waviness from borehole data, allowing for less conservative design in structurally controlled slopes.
Free Download: Estimating Rock Mass Properties
This in-depth handbook compiles expertise from one of our Principal Geotechnical Engineers, Dr. Robert Bertuzzi. Within the eBook you’ll find robust guidelines for classifying a rock mass and for estimating rock mass parameters, including case studies and plenty of useful equations, and is an essential resource for anyone working with rock mechanics.
