Determination of geological strength index of jointed rock mass based on image processing

The geological strength index (GSI) system, widely used for the design and practice of mining process, is a unique rock mass classification system related to the rock mass strength and deformation parameters based on the generalized Hoek-Brown and Mohr-Coulomb failure criteria. The GSI can be estima...
