Degree of jointing
The degree of jointing, or block size, is determined by the joint

The vertical stress in a rock mass commonly depends on the
THE Q-SYSTEM
Q=
RQD = Degree of jointing (Rock Quality Designation)
Jn = Number of joint sets
Jr = Joint roughness number
Ja = Joint alteration number
Jw = Joint water reduction factor
SRF = Stress Reduction Factor
= Active stress
a description of the rock mass. A relation between the Qvalue and the permanent support can be used as a guide for
the design of support in new underground projects. The
support requirements are:
1. Excavation Support Ratio (ESR)
2. Rock support chart
3. Reinforced ribs of sprayed concrete (RRS)
4. Forepoling
5. Energy absorption of sprayed concrete
6. Support of weak narrow zones
7. Additional comments on stability and rock support
Forepoling
In poor rock mass qualities it may be necessary to forepole
mass, and by using the support chart, one can design the
general support methods and quantities needed for a
particular Q-value
