    This document contains a field trip notes sheet for rock mass characterization stops. The notes sheet includes sections to describe the tectonic setting, lithology, intact rock properties, structures like folding and fracturing, engineering significance of features, expected engineering behavior of a large tunnel at 1000m depth, expected hydraulic properties like permeability, and estimates of RQD and GSI values. The sheet is used to record observations at stops to characterize the rock mass and predict its engineering behavior.
