    Statistics or geostatistics? Sampling error or nugget effect? - Synopsis

    What is a nugget effect? In the early development of geostatistics, the term ?nugget effect? was coined for the apparent discontinuity at the beginning of many semivariogram graphs. This name was chos

    SRC rock mass classification applied to tunnels under high tectonic stress

    By L. I. Gonzalez de Vallejo

    SRC rockmass classification have been applied to 25 tunnels in Spain and Italy, for which it was found that much heavier supports than those estimated by the RMR index were required. SRC and RMR indi
