Classification criteria of deformation [41].

σmax/Rc · KvGrade

0.5∼0.25Slight
0.25∼0.15Moderate
>0.15Strong

σmax is the maximum horizontal stress, and Rc · Kv is the product of the compressive strength and the integrity coefficient of rocks, which represents the compressive strength of a rock mass.
