Use of rock mass classifications for rock fall susceptibility analysis in the conditions of the Bohemian Massif

This thesis deals with rock mass classification systems. The aim of the thesis is to describe and compare selected systems and evaluate their possible use in the Bohemian Massif for assessing the stability of the rock slopes in relation to their susceptibility to rock falls. A part of the thesis deals with rock falls and basic mechanical characteristics of a rock mass. Further on, the thesis describes selected classification systems, specifically RQD, RSR, RMR, SMR, Q-system, Q-slope, GSI, RSR-PR and QTS. These systems were then used for evaluation of stability of rock slopes on three geologically different locations of the Bohemian Massif. information from measurement in field and processing of measured data was used for assessing for possible use of each classification system
