Abstract
The findings of the study have been verified by applying it to estimate the ultimate rock mass strength of nine rock types from few dam sites in the lower Himalayas. The ultimate strength obtained by the present methodology is compared with that obtained through the Q classification system. It is concluded that reasonably good estimates on field strength of jointed rocks are possible by using the correlations suggested in this study.
