... during the construction phase of the Bátaapáti radioactive waste repository. Examinations of the values determined on-site gave significantly different results. Different correlations were determined between the calculated GSI values. 1 INTRODUCTION The Geological Strength Index (GSI ) represents...

... the sensitivity of the various constants of this equation, which depends on the GSI value and the D factor. The results show that the Hoek-Brown constants are very sensitive to both the GSI and the D factor, so to determine them exactly is very important for the rock engineering design. The sensitivity...

... of about ± 15 %, for rocks with GSI values up to 65. FOS values determined using Limit Equilibrium Method are mostly in higher (up to 10 %) side. If local approach is considered as more ‘correct’, depending on the parameters, results of the global approach can lie on the safe or unsafe site. Evaluation...

.... The consideration of a GSI value in failure could be a method for obtaining a global safety factor in rock slopes. The construction of a main itinerary in the North of Portugal constitutes an opportunity to test and compare some limit equilibrium techniques and numerical calculations using the finite element method...
