Rockburst Damage Potential

This app is based on the Rockburst Damage Potential (RDP) system developed by Dan Heal (2010). This app provides an environment to edit the E1, E2, E3 and E4 components of the RDP system as well as to display and interrogate these components, the excavation vulnerability potential (EVP), the PPV factor and the RDP.
