Interpretation ofRock Properties: 

Interpretation of Rock Properties Chapter 10 Mount Pilatus, Switzerland Arches National Park, Utah Lesson 14

Objectives: Interpretation of Rock Properties : 

Objectives: Interpretation of Rock Properties Be familiar with charts, equations, and tables for evaluation of rock properties Determine validity of rock test results Selection of appropriate values Perform preliminary design evaluation Recognize that cracks andamp; fissure in rock mass are as important as intact material between the discontinuities.

Interpretation of Rock Properties: 

Interpretation of Rock Properties Rock involved with highway construction: foundations, slopes, tunnels, and cuts. Two levels of rock classification: Intact Rock (origin, type, age, minerals) Rock Mass (discontinuities, joints, fissures) Combined lab and field test program

Slide4: 

Grand Canyon, Arizona

Intact Rock Classification: 

Intact Rock Classification Rock Type Geologic Formation and Age Indices: Specific Gravity, Porosity, Unit Weight, Wave Velocities Strength (compressive, tensile, shear) Elastic Modulus

Rock Mass Classifications: 

Rock Mass Classifications RQD - early form of rating rock mass Geomechanics System - Rock Mass Rating (RMR) by Bieniawski (1984, 1989) Q-System - Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (Barton, et al. 1974) Geological Strength Index, GSI (Hoek, et al., 1995)

Rock Mass Rating (RMR): 

Rock Mass Rating (RMR) RMR based on five parameters: Uniaxial strength, qu Rock Quality Designation, RQD Spacing of Discontinuities Condition of the Discontinuities Groundwater Conditions RMR = R1+R2+R3+R4+R5 Adjustment for Joint Orientation relative to construction Rock City Chattanooga, TN

Rock Mass Rating (RMR) Geomechanics Systems (CSIR) [after Bieniawski, 1984, 1989]

NGI- Q Rating of Rock Masses: 

NGI- Q Rating of Rock Masses Q-Rating based on 6 parameters: Rock Quality Designation, RQD Number of Joint Sets, Jn Roughness of Discontinuities, Jr Discontinuity Condition/Filling, Ja Groundwater Conditions, Jw Stress Reduction Factor, SRF Rating of Rock Formation: Tucson, AZ

Geological Strength Index, GSI: 

Geological Strength Index, GSI Developed by Hoek, Kaiser, andamp; Bawden (1995), Hoek andamp; Brown (1997). GSI from Q-system: GSI from Geomechanics system where RMR andgt; 25: Chart approach based on structure andamp; surface quality

GSI Evaluation from Chart Hoek (2000)

Strength of Rock Masses: 

Strength of Rock Masses Depends on Intact Rock Material and Rock Mass Jointing Intact Rock Uniaxial Compression Strength, qu = su Rock Material Type using parameter mi Fractured Rock Characteristics (in terms of GSI) Parameters mb and s and exponent 'a' Obtain Mohr-Coulomb Strength Envelope from:

Strength of Fractured Rock Masses: 

Strength of Fractured Rock Masses Parameter: mb = mi exp [(GSI-100)/28] For GSI andgt; 25: s = exp [(GSI-100)/9] exponent a = 0.5 For GSI andlt; 25: s = 0 exponent a = 0.65 - (GSI/200)
