The paper Ground behaviour and rock mass composition in underground excavations describes the main parameters and features determining the behaviour of the ground surrounding an underground excavation. A simple, qualitative division of the rock masses is presented, which, together with the influence of stresses, ground water and dimension of the excavation, is used to find the probable behaviour. This may help the user to select appropriate rock engineering tool. It is important to apply relevant tools that cover the actual rock mass and ground conditions encountered and the behaviour of the ground.
In the paper Ground behaviour and rock engineering tools for underground excavations, a matrix is presented showing the applicability of the tools in various types of ground behaviour. The quality of the input parameters and an understanding of their limitations are regarded as a pre-requisite for appropriate use of the tools.
