What is RQD-Based Empirical Relation for qmax about?

This document discusses existing methods for determining the end-bearing capacity of rock-socketed shafts and proposes a new empirical method. The new method relates the end-bearing capacity (qmax) to the unconfined compressive strength of the rock mass (scm) and explicitly considers the effect of discontinuities represented by the Rock Quality Designation (RQD). The accuracy of estimating scm based on RQD is verified by comparing to existing methods. Two examples are provided to demonstrate the application
