Sample Questions

Question 1
A 1.5 m drill run yields core pieces of the following lengths: 12 cm, 8 cm, 22 cm, 5 cm (fractured), 18 cm, 35 cm, and 10 cm. What is the Rock Quality Designation (RQD) for this drill run?
45%
65%
72%
85%
Question 2
Which five basic parameters are evaluated to obtain the basic Rock Mass Rating (RMR89) according to Bieniawski?
UCS, RQD, joint spacing, joint condition, and groundwater condition
Point load index, fracture frequency, friction angle, cohesion, and stress factor
UCS, stress reduction factor, joint roughness, aperture, and water inflow
Rock density, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, joint orientation, and RQD
Question 3
In Barton's Q-system equation Q = (RQD / Jn) * (Jr / Ja) * (Jw / SRF), what physical aspect of the rock mass does the quotient (RQD / Jn) represent?
Inter-block shear strength
Relative block size
Active stress state
Water pressure ratio
Question 4
A underground drive in norite exhibits RQD = 80%, joint set number Jn = 9 (three joint sets), joint roughness Jr = 2 (smooth undulating), joint alteration Ja = 1 (unaltered), joint water reduction Jw = 1 (dry), and stress reduction factor SRF = 2.5 (medium stress). Calculate the rock mass Q value.

Question 5
According to Hoek and Brown, the Geological Strength Index (GSI) is primarily estimated from which two visual geological observations?
Intact rock hardness and groundwater discharge rate
Rock mass structure (interlocking of rock blocks) and surface condition of discontinuities
Drilling rate index and uniaxial compressive strength
Joint aperture width and seismic wave velocity
