As a part of geotechnical research at several locations in Republika Srpska and Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, detailed geotechnical investigations of rock masses were carried out. On the abovementioned exploration sites, terrain is composed of different rock masses (Cretaceous limestone, Palaeozoic gneiss, Mesozoic peridotite and serpentinite). This paper presents an overview of correlation between uniaxial strength, elastic wave velocity and rock mass quality, on one side and in situ obtained results of rock mass deformability, on the other side. Modification of the correlation between deformation modulus and rock mass quality in a form of correctives for each of the equations by Galera, Alvarez and Bieniawski, was also presented. All deformability tests were carried out by the Institute for the Development of Water Resources "Jaroslav Černi" Belgrade.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
