METHODE RMR dan SMR
Metode ini merupakan penilaian
(valuasi) ketahanan massa batuan
heterogen (RMR= rock mass rating)

Valuasi berupa klasifikasi kualitas

massa batuan heterogen

Kegunaan hasilnya untuk

menetapkan kemiringan lereng
maksimum maupun support
PROSEDUR KERJA
Terhadap 8 parameter tubuh batuan
dilakukan valuasi utk penentuan RMR, yaitu :
UCS (MPa)
RQD (%)
Joint spacing (m/joint or cm/joint)
Joint condition
Ground water condition
Joint condition relating to slope of pit
Method of excavation
Total rating to determine the class itself

 SLOPE MASS RATING (SMR)
SLOPE MASS RATING (SMR) adalah nilai sudut kemiringan lereng
maksimum massa batuan (dalam kondisi stabil), yang ditentukan
oleh nilai RMR-nya (=nilai ketahanannya) :

Prosedur perhitungan SMR berdasarkan RMR dengan menggunakan

beberapa rumus berikut :

Laubscher (1975)
Romano (1980)
Hall (1985)
Orr (1992)
SLOPE MASS RATING (SMR)

SLOPE MASS RATING (SMR)

2) Romano (1980)
SMR = RMR (F1 x F2 x F3) + F4 ;F4 = 0

3) Hall (1985)
SMR = 0.65 RMR + 25

4) Orr (1992)
SMR = 35 ln RMR - 71
