The Q-system for characterizing rock exposures and drill-core, and for estimating single-shell support and reinforcement needs in tunnels, caverns and mine roadways has been widely used by engineering geologists and mining engineers. In the last ten years, a slightly modified Q-system called Q-slope was tested by the authors, …
