Abstract

The problem of fuzzy searching for hard workability rock areas is divided into two steps. The first is description of uncertainty of compressive strength, internal friction angle, and cohesion. The second is description of workability coefficient via fuzzy sets. The method presented is used in a computer program, which is an element of data base utility library.
