1 GE 5471 ROCK ENGINEERING CH 2 – Character of Rock Materials Dr. Norbert H. Maerz Missouri University of Science and Technology (573) 341-6714 [email protected]Instructional Objectives 1. Explain the role of testing intact rock materials. 2. List the genetic rock types and subtypes, and predict their properties as engineering materials. 3. Classify rock types, using field tables. 4. Explain the effect of mineralogy on the engineering properties of the rock. 5. Define strength, hardness, abrasiveness, durability, and swelling potential, and predict the effect on engineering properties. 6. Calculate bulk density, specific gravity, unit weight, and porosity of rock. 7. Propose rock tests that would better predict the engineering behavior of rock masses. 8. Solve using calculations, problems involving the following properties of rock: Bulk density, specific gravity, unit weight, and porosity. Role of Testing 1. Index Tests 2. Design Tests 3. Quality Control Tests 4. Research Test Genetic Rock Types (what’s in a name) • Igneous • Metamorphic • Sedimentary Genetic Structures • Jointing • Faulting • Folding • Schistosity, • Gneissosity • Bedding • etc.
