About this document
Joint Roughness Coefficient Analysis by Orlando Bolaños is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses: 1) Tables that characterize defect roughness and estimating uniaxial compressive strength from Schmidt hardness values. 2) Shear strength of defects is influenced by scale effects, with JRC and JCS values decreasing as defect size increases due to less influence of small-scale roughness. 3) Empirical relationships are suggested to account for scale effects by reducing JRC and JCS values as block size increases.
