Homework 1: a sample of rock has a total mass of 300 gm and a dry mass of 250 gm with a real specific weight of 2.77 and a degree of saturation of 80%. Find the following: Total volume, volume of solid particles, volume of voids, total density, dry density, void ratio, porosity, moisture content. Ans: V=152.75 cm³, V-90.25 cm³, V, 62.5 cm³, y-1.964 gm/ cm³, Ya 1. 64 gm/ cm³, e-0.693, n-0.41, and 6-0.2 ]

39 In the Field Density Test, the size of the hole in the site is found with the relationship, v = weight of sand fill the hole divided by standard sand density weight of excavated soil from the hole divided by standard sand density ● weight of sand fill the hole divided by moist density of excavated soil
1) A dry rock weighs 240 grams and has a bulk density of 2.5 grams per cubic centimeter. Whensaturated with pure water at room temperature (T = 25 °C), it weighs 255 grams. At room temperature,specific volume of water is 1.00295E-03 m3/kg. Calculate the porosity of the sample. 2) A cylindrical core sample of 1.5 cm length and 1.2 cm2cross-section has upstream and downstreampressures of 2 atm and 1.25 atm, respectively, during steady state flow of water at 1.00 g/s at roomtemperature. Calculate the permeability of the core. (Water @ 25 °C, viscosity = 1 cp, density of water = 0.997 g/cm3).
There are 2 samples of granite rock from similar sampling site. However, its dimension height and diameter are different, i.e. for sample A is 104mm : 52mm (height : diameter) and sample B 52mm : 52mm. Between sample A and B, which is expected give a higher rock strength. Justify your answer?
Homework 4: A dry rock sample of a weight equal to 1350 gm and a diameter of 7.5 cm and a height equal to twice the length. If you know that the size of the voids inside the rock is 180 cm³, find the following: Moisture content, real specific weight of the rock, percentage of voids, dry density, degree of saturation, air content. [Ans: o=0, G₁=2.797, e-0.373, ya-2.04 g/cm³, S,=0 and a. 1]

we were told that the sigma y going up the sign is supposed to be negative in rock mechanics. ( I am confused, can you explain please) and the formula given to us about txy' does have a negative sign. I try it before posting those questions to verify my answer but because of those sign answer are different.
A reservoir-rock sample has a porosity of 0. 18 measured at 14.7 psis. The rock compressibility is0.77 X 10 5psi *.What would the rock porosity be at 2,000 and at 3,000 psis? Plot the relationship be tween ¢ and p in a pressure range of 14.7 to 5,000 psis
In a slow triaxial test performed on a sand sample, the chamber pressure is 1.5 kg/cm^2 and the deviating stress at failure is 4.5 kg/cm^2. Assuming that the failure envelope of the sand is straight through the origin, determine the angle fi
