B. Terzaghi system
C. RMR (Rock Mass Rating)
D. Casagrande method
Answer: Option C
Solution (By Examveda Team)
The RMR system evaluates rock mass quality using parameters like UCS, joint spacing, condition, and water conditions.It guides tunnel support design.This Question Belongs to Geological Engineering >> Engineering Geology For Construction
