    This document contains two questions related to engineering geology. CQI 1 asks to calculate the rock quality designation (RQD), total core recovery (TCR), and solid core recovery (SCR) based on core sample lengths. CQI 2 provides data on rock slope parameters, discontinuity orientations, and asks to calculate factors of safety for wedge and planar failures and the tensional force required to increase the factor of safety to 1.5, and investigate a suitable new slope direction to avoid failures. Instructions are also provided on handwriting, submission details, and deadlines.

    the rock sample below, calculate:

    (a) Rock Quality Designation (RQD)

    CQI 2
    QUESTION

    The parameters of rock cut slope were investigated and tabulated in TABLE 1. A discontinuity
    survey was conducted along the cut slope and results for the discontinuity sets orientations are
    given in TABLE 2. A study of the joint sets showed that all joint surfaces had a friction angle of
    30. The analysis of slope failure indicates that joint set 3 is potential to fail with the planar failure
    mode and intersection of joint set 1 and 2 causes wedge failure.

    (i) Calculate the factor of safety for wedge failure mode for intersection of joint set 1 and 2 when the
    tension crack is completely filled with water.
    (ii) Calculate the factor of safety for planar failure mode when the tension crack is completely filled
    with water.
    (iii) Calculate the tensional anchor force that requires to increase the factor of safety to 1.5 using similar
    condition in question given in Q(ii).
    (iv) By maintaining the slope angle, investigate a suitable new rock slope dip direction in order to avoid
    any potential of rock slope failure mode using the equatorial equal-area stereo-net in Figure
    (iii).

    TABLE 1
    Slope dip direction = 360
    Slope face angle = 70
    Height of rock slope = 100 m
    Depth of tension cracks = 5m
    Unit weight of the rock = 25 kN/m3
    Unit weight of water = 9.81 kN/m3
    Cohesion of the discontinuity = 100 kPa
    Friction angle for the discontinuity = 30
    Inclined angle of anchor = 20
    Bars for Y25 = 10 ton = 100 kN

    TABLE 2
    Joint set 1 Joint set 2 Joint set 3
    30/68 330/64 006/60
