Quantitative granitic weathering assessment for rock mass classification optimization of tunnel face using image analysis technique

Weathering degree is one of the key criteria used to determine tunnel support with the main difficulty is in assessing the weathering grade of the tunnel face. This study applied CIEL*a*b colour space and image analysis to a rock mass tunnel face. The authors used the Japanese Highway (JH) Rock Mass...
