Geostatistical simulation to map the spatial heterogeneity of geomechanical parameters: A case study with rock mass rating

A better characterization of complex rock masses is essential in geotechnical engineering, as the empirical sys- tems widely used for this purpose have significant limitations and do not provide adequate answers for risk anal- ysis. Geostatistics offers a set of tools that allow not only predicting...
