Rock mechanics

a number describing the roughness of a rock joint surface, used in an empirical formula for the joint's peak shear strength.

In rock mechanics, joint roughness coefficient refers to a number describing the roughness of a rock joint surface, used in an empirical formula for the joint's peak shear strength. This meaning comes from Barton (1973) in Engineering Geology.[1]
