GSMR method for determining rock slope mechanical parameters

General slope mass rating(GSMR) method is proposed. The continuous modification of discrete value which is composed of intact rock strength and rock quality designation and joint spacing, the modification of the relation between joint and slope, the excavation method, the inclination between joint plane and applied force, the state of artificial slope, the seism stress, the slope height and the revised coefficient F3 of Romana are considered. Because of this considering, rock mass mechanical parameters are determined by using the GSMR method, which is a workable method in engineering. That the discrete value can be replaced by the continuous modification to calculate the GSMR value is proved; and the rock mass mechanical parameters which are needed by the analysis for the slope stability are determined by using the GSMR method.
