Rock quality designation contributes to a tunnel classification by measuring
Answer: B
Correct answer: the degree of jointing of the rock mass
Rock quality designation is computed from a core run as the percentage made up of intact pieces longer than 100 mm, so it measures how closely the mass is broken by discontinuities rather than how strong the rock itself is. That is why it appears in classification systems alongside a separate term for intact strength.
