Review of rock-mass rating and tunneling quality index systems for tunnel design: development, refinement, application and limitation

Although rock-mass rating (RMR) and tunneling quality index (Q) systems are used in different rock engineering projects as empirical design tools, their application in tunnel design is widely accepted as these systems were developed and updated for this purpose specifically. This paper reviews the w...
