Methods For Quantitative Description Of Discontinuities In Rock Masses - Part 12 Drill Core Study

This standard provides a method for the quantitative description of discontinuities in rock masses. It focuses on the analysis of core samples obtained from drilling activities. The methodology outlined in this standard aims to ensure consistency and reliability in the assessment of rock mass characteristics. The standard outlines procedures for the identification, measurement, and classification of discontinuities based on core sample observations. It includes guidelines for data collection and presentation, which are essential for the accurate characterization of rock mass properties. The standard also addresses the importance of proper sampling techniques and the interpretation of core data in relation to geological conditions. It serves as a reference for professionals involved in geotechnical investigations and rock engineering applications.
