The models and methodologies for determining rock properties and predicting rock behaviour are numerous, but are they all equally effective? Designing tunnels, mines or rock slopes requires a model with which to predict their behaviour so that failure may be avoided. Failure may be defined in all cases as unacceptable deformation, but what defines acceptable

Gray, Ian (2014). The Measurement of Rock Stress for Tunnelling. 15th Australasian Tunnelling Conference 2014. Sydney, NSW. 17-19 September 2014. Abstract While in some cases it is vitally important to measure the virgin stress in rock prior to tunnelling there are a number of cases where such stress measurement is really not required. The concept
