Rock Mass Characterization

Rock Mass Characterization MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Quantify rock mass quality using RMR, Q-system, and GSI classification methods.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides essential tools for mining and civil engineering professionals to quantify rock mass mechanical quality. It implements industry-standard classification systems including RMR, the Q-system, and the Geological Strength Index (GSI). Engineers can use get_rmr_classification to determine support needs, get_q_index for tunnel-specific design, and get_gsi_properties to estimate strength reduction. Additionally, analyze_structural_domain evaluates stability risks caused by anisotropy and joint orientation within specific geological zones.

Calculate the RMR for a rock mass with high strength, 75% RQD, 200mm joint spacing, very rough joints, and completely dry conditions with no orientation penalty.

The Rock Mass Rating (RMR) is 72, which falls into the 'Good Rock' quality class.

What is the Q-index if RQD is 60, there are 3 joint sets, joint alteration is 1, and the stress reduction factor is 2.5?

The Q-system Quality Index is 4.8, suggesting a specific excavation support category.

Estimate the strength reduction for a massive rock structure with unweathered joint surfaces using GSI.

The GSI score is 90, resulting in a very low estimated strength reduction factor.

The server supports Rock Mass Rating (RMR), the Q-system (Quality Index), and the Geological Strength Index (GSI).
