Geostatistical assessment of rock zones for tunneling

摘要

Geostratistical assessments can be used for understanding the distribution of regionalized variables (ReVs) in any spatial study. Many researchers have used the theory of ReVs for different modeling purposes such as hydraulics, mining deposits, etc. in this Paper, ReV technique is used for understanding the mechanical variation properties of rock zones under sampled and unsampled Conditions in sewer tunnels for Istanbul. This study has been carried out for three different rock properties that are compressive Strength, rock quality designation (RQD), Schmidt hammer hardness, and one rock cuttability property, net cutting rate.
