Development of an Intelligent and Statistical Model for Prediction of Rock Mass Deformation Modulus
Abstract: The rock mass deformation modulus (Em) takes into account the plastic and the elastic deformation of the rock mass. It has been widely used for designing structures such as dams, tunnels, caverns, and mines, etc. Since the tests available for ascertaining Em are expensive and time consuming, several equations were suggested in the past. However, it has been found that the existing models are limited to specific type of rock …
