... ABSTRACT: RMR and SMR are two of the most applied classifications for tunnels and slopes, respectively, excavated in rock masses. Five parameters are used to compute the basic RMR classification for each discontinuity set. However, it is not clarified the whole Rock Mass RMR value. Here...

... with limited data. Kinematical analysis is a widely used method that requires orientational data and the rock mass friction angle. However, geological or mechanical features of the rock mass are disregarded. Slope Mass Rating (SMR) is an alternative that considers the basic Rock Mass Rating (RMR) parameters...

... of the State and the port of Rio Grande, one of the largest ports in the country. This highway intercepts the city of Canguçu in a section with an extensive rock slope. In this context, the present paper provides a preliminary study on the stability of this slope based on the Slope Mass Rating (SMR) system...

... Abstract The Slope Mass Rating (SMR; Romana, 1985) geomechanics classification was developed as a sequel of Bieniawski's Rock Mass Rating (RMR) system, which was almost impossible to use in slopes due to the extreme range of the correction factors (up to 60 points of a maximum of 100...

.... In this paper, an analysis of continuous SMR geometrical parameters (F1, F2 and F3) is performed in order to identify main controlling parameters in this geomechanical classification. 1 INTRODUCTION Slope Mass Rating (SMR; Romana 1985 ) is a worldwide used rock mass classification intended to characterize...

... The SMR geomechanics classification system (adaptation of RMR for slopes) is reviewed with data from 87 actual slopes in Valencia. In a research project, SMR has been applied by a GIS system, as a method to forecast stability problems in future road construction. On revient sur la...

... SUMMARY The SMR (Slope Mass Rating) classification was introduced by ROMANA (1985) as a logical following to BIENIAWSKI RMR geomechanical classification. RMR (widely used in tunnels) is not of immediate use for slopes due to the fact that joints are a more governing parameter for stability...
