What is Understanding Rock Roughness Measurement about?
The document defines rock roughness and explains that the rougher a rock is, the greater its shear resistance. It then describes that a Barton comb is used to measure the roughness profile of a rock discontinuity by placing it over the sample and comparing the measured roughness depth with a profile chart. Finally, it states that the Barton comb allows for the study of the actual profile of a rock joint when visual observation is complicated.
