: ''For the linguistics formalism, see Q-systems.'' The Q-system for rock mass classification is developed by Barton, Lien, and Lunde.〔〔〔〔〔〔〔〔〔 It expresses the quality of the rock mass in the so-called ''Q-value'', on which are based design and support recommendations for underground excavations. The Q-value is determined with :: The first term ''RQD'' ''(Rock Quality Designation)'' divided by ''Jn (joint set number)'' is related to the size of the intact rock blocks in the rock mass. The second term ''Jr (joint roughness number)'' divided by ''Ja (joint alteration number)'' is related to the shear strength along the discontinuity planes and the third term ''Jw (joint water parameter)'' divided by ''SRF (stress reduction factor)'' is related to the stress environment on the intact rock blocks and discontinuities around the underground excavation. A multiplication of the three terms results in the ''Q'' parameter, which can range between 0.00006 for an exceptionally poor to 2666 for an exceptionally good rock mass. The numerical values of the class boundaries for the different rock mass qualities are subdivisions of the ''Q'' range on a logarithmic scale. The Q-value determines the quality of the rock mass, but the support of an underground excavation is based not only on the ''Q-value'' but is also determined by the different terms in the above equation. This leads to a very extensive list of classes for support recommendations. ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Q-system (geotechnical engineering)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
