“…Detection of rock discontinuities is required in various fields such as tunnel, gallery, and deep shaft construction in underground mining operations, rock falls, the classification and stabilization of rock masses, etc. In addition, Türkiye is prone to rockfall with hundreds of incidents per year [2], such as when numerous fatalities occurred on February 6, 2023, during the Kahramanmaras earthquakes (7.7 Mw and 7.6 Mw) that occurred due to rockfall in mountainous areas [3]. Well-known rock mass classification systems involve the recent versions of the Rock Mass Rating (RMR) system introduced by Bieniawski [4], the Geological Strength Index (GSI) established by Hoek and Brown [5], and the Q system developed by Barton [6].…”
