SRC rock mass classification applied to tunnels under high tectonic stressBy 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
