Select all true statements.1-Direct shear tests are useful to establish the Mohr-Coulomb envelope for intactrock.2-In the stress-strain curve, yield occurs when the deformation becomes plastic. 3-When discontinuities are present in a rock mass, failure can occur along intactrock or along discontinuities.4- In the stress-strain curve, strain-softening is observed between the yield pointand the peak strength. 5-A lower Geological Strength Index (GSI) implies smaller Mb and s rock constantsand a poor-quality rock mass.
Two vanes A and B, with length-to-diameter ratios of 3 and 1 respectively, are each used to make a test at the depth in a clay layer. Both vanes have a diameter of 50 mm and the torque values measured were 95 N-m for A and 45 N-m for B. Find the values of undrained shear strength on the horizontal and vertical planes at this depth. Explain why undrained strength in clays may vary with direction.
1. A granite rock formation consists of three sets of discontinuities where the average joint spacing is 320 mm. The RQD of the rock cores obtained from the boreholes is 68%. The joint surfaces are rough, stepped and unweathered, with no separation. The average uniaxial compressive strength of the intact rock cores is 200 MPa. The surface of excavation is found to be damp. Determine the RMR value, disregarding the rating adjustment for discontinuity orientation. What values would you use for cohesion and friction angle in analysis of the rock mass?

A mine has a 6m diameter vertical ventilation shaft. Calculate the radial, circumferential and shear stresses 0.2m into the rock at the north point (A) for a depth of 2500m below surface. Draw a simple sketch of the shaft showing the stresses, directions, the point A with proper labels. The principal in situ horizontal stress in the north-south direction is equal to half the overburden stress, and the principal in situ horizontal stress in the east- west direction is twice the overburden stress. The unit weight of the rock y is 0,025 MN/mº. The modulus of elasticity of the rock E is 50 GPa, and Poisson's ratio for the rock v is 0,25. Assume that the rock behaves elastically.
