Correlation of joint roughness coefficient (JRC) and peak friction angles of discontinuities of Malaysian Schists

The surface roughness of geological discontinuities plays an important role in influencing the stability of rock masses. Several approaches can be adopted for its determination. This paper presents a simple approach whereby two polynomial approximations have been derived to correlate the peak fri...
