*Only included if project depths are in feet.
Product Limitations
Limitations | Comments |
|---|---|
Lack of Infill Data | The absence of infill rating in the Surface Condition Rating (SCR) calculation means that the model may not fully capture the influence of infill materials on the mechanical behavior of discontinuities, despite the scaling adjustment. |
Dependence on Visual Inspection | GSI is traditionally estimated through visual inspection. The subjective nature of visual assessment can lead to variability in GSI values assigned by different assessors, potentially affecting the consistency and reliability of results. |
