The data of hydropower projects involving the problem of columnar jointed rock mass in China were gathered and analyzed. On this basis the classification and quality assessment of irregular columnar jointed basaltic rock mass were investigated according to the site survey and in-situ tests results for the Baihetan Hydropower Project, China. The appropriate rock mass classification method was discussed and the classification method for columnar mosaic blocky structure and columnar mosaic cataclastic structure were proposed. The RMR and GSI rock mass quality assessment methods were applied to analyze these two kinds of jointed rock mass and compared with the result of the method applied to the Hanford Basalt Waste Isolation Project, USA. The results show that the RMR method and GSI method can well describe the engineering mechanical properties of irregular columnar jointed basaltic rock mass in the Baihetan Hydropower Project.
