Our, own cq:'enence has been fairly extensive in the \lse of rock mass da.ssificiltiOns for a large number of prvjects in a widc range of rock typea. '
Table 3 pre.1enta a sample from this data base illustrating the usc of the .djuslt~ MRMR's for a ran~e of rock types an.J ~1{l1-I: beiplL ,An~es between 30 and 6S are shown fOI slupes belWeea 10 m and 200 m in height. This illustrates that the system can bo .ppliecl across a wide range of projerls from the feeratina stale of a mining ope.ation. From 'experience it has been of value to use a field sheet a~ pi_ted in figure Ito coUect the relevant d>tta and to assess the: pvameten for the detennination of the adju\ted MRMR. In &CneraJ practice, for the coUection of fieltj data to be used in the, 'lhroo mllin rock mau cllwifccatton systems pre\'iou~ly refeUnced in this paper, it hal been found useful to use the daHl sheet u mown in Ffaure 2.

INTRODUCTION A common deficiency of both geologic and geotechnical reports and published papers on rock mechanics problems has been the lack of an adequate and generally accepted means to transmit an overall assessment of the nature or rock masses to those who have not had an opportunity to observe them. A language common to rock mechanics specialists and experts from related fields should be available. This is why the ISR M, at its Council Meeting in Nancy, on October 3, 1971, decided to appoint a Commission on Classification of Rocks and Rock Masses (see A~dix 1). J.e., .,'.,\iQ n,y\~., . ~ ;h. (The first task of the Commission was an eXhad'sttve gath[rlng and study of documents (see References), in
particular of the numerous classification systems presently in use. The Commission preferred to follow, as far as possible, classification criteria already in practice, rather than to innovate. . It was considered advisable to establish first a "Basic Geotechnical Description of Rock Masses" (BGD),
general in nature; the experience gained in using it might then lead to special descriptions and/or classifications for different kinds of engineering works or aimed at specific types of geologic formations. Such a basic description is proposed in this document. . The intent of the Basic Description is to characterize in simplified form the various zones that constitute a given r
rock mass, using information obtained from the observation of outcrops, trenches, aditsor boreholes. The Description may be used for written and symbolic characterization of rock masses; it may be included in borehole logs, trench or adit logs, or may be shown on maps and geological sections. It should be emphasized that, as the BGD is not an exhaustive description, it will often need to be supple
mented by additional, more detailed, information. It is expected that application of the BGD to a variety of practical situations will suggest additions or
modifications to the present document. Any remarks aimed at improving the Description should be addressed to the Secretariat of the International Society for Rock Mechanics, at the Laboratorio Nacional de Engenharia Civil, A\enida do Brasil, 1799 Lisboa Cedex, Portugal.

87 Basic Geotechnical Description of Rock Masses
Basic Geotechnical Description of
Rock Masses (BGD)
1: REQUIREMENTS FOR A BASIC GEOTECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The BG D is intended to meet the following major requirements:
(a) To provide a language enabling the observer to transmit his general impression of a rock mass, parricularly with regard to its a~ti~ip'ai~d mechanical behaviour. The language of the BGD, must be unambiguous; different observers of a given rock mass should describe it in the s.ame way. (b) To contain as far as possible quantitative data, of
interest in the solution of definite practical problems. (c) Whenever possible, to use simple measurements,
rather than visual observations alone.
2: CHARACTERISTICS CONSIDERED FOR PURPOSES OF DESCRIPTION
The object of the BG D being essentially to characterize the mechanical behaviour of rock masses, the following five characteristics were taken into account:
-the rock name, with a simplified geological description; -t\,iO structural characteristics of the rock mass,
namely layer thickness and fracture intercept*; -two mechanical characteristics, namely the uni
axial compressive strength of the rock material and the angle of friction of the fractures.
The rock name and geological description are of great interest, owing to the abundant information, particularly of a mechanical nature, that they imply. The parameters layer thickness and fracture intercept
are considered for the following reasons:
-they characterize morphologic aspects of basic importance for the visualisation of the rock mass; -they usually have a considerable influence on the
mechanical behaviour of the rock mass; -their quantitative assessment is generally not diffi
cult.
The parameters, uniaxial compressive strength of the rock material and angle of friction of the fractures have been included for the following reasons:
--these properties playa very considerable role in the mechanical behaviour of rock masses;
* Definitions are presented in paragraphs 5 and 6.
-from t heir values it is, as a rule, possible to infer other mechanical characteristics, particularly when considered in the light of the rock name and geologic characterization; -they can be assessed from simple tests or even from
the observer's past experience alone; -their meaning is familiar to all specialists engaged
in studies of rock masses.
The interval limits for the four parameters (Tables 1-4) have been selected as far as possible, to correspond with boundaries of significance to engineering projects.
3: ZONING OF THE ROCK MASS
When applying the BGD one should first divide the rock mass into zones, that is, geotechnical units, whose characteristics may be considered uniform with regard to the requirements of the project; relevant characteristics may however display considerable variation within a geotechnical unit. A zone may include noncontiguous volumes of the rock mass, such as interbeddedla-ye'rs-of sedimentary or volcanic formations with the same geotechnical characteristics. In the case of rock masses that vary cont inuously from place to place, for example due to weathering, it may be advisable to delineate arbitrary zone boundaries in such a way that the properties of each zone may be considered uniform.
A preliminary zoning may be based on general geological data a vail able on the rock mass, reflecting lithological differentiation, degree of alteration, fracture characteristics, etc. Improvement of the zoning will be progressively achieved as additiona'l information is acquired on the geology and on the four parameters considered in the Description.
After the zoning, the BGD is applied to each zone. Each of the four parameters considered in the Description is determined on samples that are selected as representative of the zone. The number, positions and dimensions of the samples will depend on the parameter to be determined and on the statistical refinement required. A similar procedure should be followed regarding the rock name and geological description.
Sometimes, particularly in the preliminary stage of applying the BGD, the consideration of some parameters may be dispensed with, on account of the nature of the formations and/or the problem to be solved.

4: ROCK NAME AND SIMPLIFIED GEOLOGICAL DESCRIPTION
The rock will be given a name in accordance with the genetic classification presented in Appendix 2. The extent of the simplified geological description
wi II depend on the nature of the formations and the requirements of the project. As a rule the following aspects need to be considered:
-geologic structure of the rock mass (folds, faults, etc.); -fracturing of the rock mass (fracture sets and frac
ture characteristics);' --colour. texture and mineral composition of the
rock material; -degree of weathering assessed by the terms of the
classification referred to in Appendix 3; the symbols (W 1 to W5) may be ,used instead of the terms.
As a rule it will be advisable to consider a general geologic description and a supplementary description of each zone. The geologic description should be implemented by
photographs, preferably a stereo pair.
5: LAYER THICKNESS
The layer thickness in a zone of a layered rock mass is the mean value of the thickness of the layers making up the zone, The term layer is used here in its most general sense and may be applied. to sedimentary, igneous or metamorphic formations. " " , The layer thickness can be determined on outcrops
or other exposures and/or on core samples. The layer thickness in azone is characterized by indi
cating the interval. amorig the five in Table 1, within which the thickness determined falls. The five intervals are represented by symbols Ll to L5 and are designated as shown in the table. Zones that are not layered are assigned the symbol Lo.
In case when only three intervals are needed, those represented in Table 1 by the symbols L1.2' L3 , L4 s are used with the corresponding designations indicated in the table.
6: FRACTURE INTERCEPT
The term fracture as used herein refers to any natural discontinuity surface with zero or very low tensile strength. An easy separation by hand can be used as an assessment criterion in practice. Fracture in,tercept* is defined as the mean distance between successive fractures as measured along an intersecting straight line. All fractures are counted, whether or not they belong

I Basic Geotechnical Description of Rock Masses NATUHAL SLOPE, 80 rn high
Rock
99
name and general geologic description: The rock mass is formed of alkaline granite (Granito do Porto) which
outcrops sound to moderately weathered. The slope is an important scarp limited at the top by a national monument and at the base by the river Douro. The slope dips abo~,t 60 0 and its evolution is due to rock falls as a consequence of the jointing of the rock mass. The main joint sets are: N 550 W, subvertical; N 55 0 E, subvertical; N 100 W, 350 W. Supplementary geologic description:(7) Zone I:
Sound to slightly l{eathered granite. The joints are sli[~ht1y open but generally not filled. The rock mass is formed of large blocks (some of many tons).
Zone III Slightly to moderately weathered granite located in the west part of the scarp. The jointing is much more severe than in Zone I.

The photo was taken during the stabilization works and after the stripping of the rock mass. At this stage the intense vegetation and the displaced blocks had already been removed.
A program of further works has been accomplished after this stage consisting mainly on the filling of the joints with grout and the bolting and anchoring of isolated blocks and of beamS built on the rock surface.

Rock name and general geologic description: (6) The rock mass is composed of formations of metamorphic orlgln, gneisses,
micaschists and migmatites overlaid by plio-pleistocenic formations of sandy clayey nature. The rock mass is highly folded and fractured. The foliation of the rock is N(0-250 )W; (35-650 )E, practically perpendicular to the axis of the tunnel and the rock mass is divided by two main joints sets, one parallel to the foliation and the other striking N(75-95)W; (45-75)S. A series of creeks develops along the gneissosity, corresponding with sheer zones.
Zone II Sound gneiss with migmatitic layers, gneissosity forming an angle of 500 to the horizontal. Joints parallel to gneissosity, one set forming angle of 300 with it and one vertical; closed, rough joints showing vestiges of water circulation. Spacing of joints 0.30-0.40 m.
Zone III Slightly altered to sound gneiss with gneissosity and sets of joints identical to Zone I. Rough and closed joints spaced 0.20-0.30 m.
Zone Ill: Fairly altered gneiss with migmatitic layers, gneissosity and sets of jOints identical to Zone I. Open joints with discontinuous silty sand filling. Spacing between sides of joints about 2-3 mm and between joints 010-0.20 m.
Zone IV: Fault zones, highly altered to decomposed gneiss with 1 m thickness of clay at depth of 13 m and parallel to gneissosity.
