...) which disables the conventional methods to correctly analyse the possible failures. One powerful approach to tackle this problem is the Rock Engineering Systems (RES) paradigm, which was first introduced by Hudson (1992) to deal with complex rock engineering problems from a holistic point of view...

... (Hudson, 1992). The interaction mechanisms and the dynamic interaction process between the altered parameters are the keys in auditing the performance of a rock engineering project. Because rock masses are complex discontinuous geo-systems involving many geological factors, it is difficult to model...
