Question
A rock mass has initial unit weight equal to y and, after loosening, it assumes unit weight y,. A coefficient of loosening (n) was defined by Müller (1978) n = Y A jointed sedimentary rock mass assumes a value ofn = 0.35 after loosening and 0.08 after recompaction. Calculate the corresponding val- of y1. (y = 27 kN/m') (b) Crystalline igneous rocks like granite, gneiss, and diabase have a range of values ofn = 0,35 to 0,50 after losening and 0.08 to 0.25 after recompaction. Compute the corresponding values of the unit weight (y.)
