2 INTACT ROCK & ROCK MASS

3 ROCK DISCONTINUITIES Definition A discontinuity in geotechnical engineering is a plane or surface that marks a change in physical or chemical characteristics in a soil or rock mass. A discontinuity can be, for example, a bedding, schistosity, foliation, joint, cleavage, fracture, fissure, crack or fault plane. Discontinuities may occur multiple times with broadly the same mechanical characteristics in a discontinuity set, or may be a single discontinuity. A discontinuity makes a soil or rock mass anisotropic

4 ROCK DISCONTINUITIES Properties

5 ROCK DISCONTINUITIES Properties ROUGHNESS in large scale wavy or straight ROUGHNESS in small scale rough or smooth INFILL material mineral infill or clay infill or no infill PERSISTENCE 1-3 meters or >10 meters APERTURE closed or no contact SPACING 1-5 cm or >1 meters WEATHERING conditions fresh or completely weathered

13 ROCK MASS CLASSIFICATIONS Engineering Properties of Rock Formations RMR ROCK MASS RATING AND ROCK MASS ENGINEERING PROPERTIES

14 ROCK MASS CLASSIFICATIONS Engineering Properties of Rock Formations Q-SYSTEM AND ROCK MASS ENGINEERING PROPERTIES Where RQD is Rock Quality Designation, J n is joint set number, J r is joint roughness number, J a is joint alteration number, J w is joint water reduction factor, and SRF is stress reduction factor. It should be noted that RQD/J n is a measure of block size, J r /J a is a measure of joint frictional strength, and J w /SRF is a measure of joint stress

25 EARTH MAKING SUBSTANCES ROCKS ROCK SLOPE STABILITY/ INSLOPE&OUTSLOPE

26 EARTH MAKING SUBSTANCES ROCKS ROCK SLOPE STABILITY

27 EARTH MAKING SUBSTANCES SOILS GRAIN SIZE The smaller the grain size or The lower the compaction degree results in; * more pores, * more water in pores, * more settlement, * less bearing capacity, Cohesion governs for small sizes of particles whereas Friction angle governs for large particles  = c +  tan 
