The Mining Rock Mass Rating (MRMR) is a geomechanics classification system for rocks, within geotechnical engineering. DH Laubscher developed the Mining Rock Mass Rating [1][2][3][4][5] system by modifying the Rock Mass Rating (RMR) system of Z. T. Bieniawski. In the MRMR system the stability and support are determined with the following equations: RMR = IRS + RQD + spacing + condition in ...
