Abstract

In the engineering practice geotechnical engineers and geologists are faced with data
which due to their nature have a wide spread. Predictions derived from these data also contain
uncertainties. This paper proposes a procedure to facilitate the processing of these data, and to
consistently consider uncertain parameters in the rock mass characterisation process. For the
application of the procedure a computational model has been developed. It allows modelling the
geological architecture, assigning the rock mass parameters and evaluating the rock mass behaviour with different analytical calculation models. A case study from an alpine base tunnel demonstrates the procedure.
