Slope Mass Rating: 8 N269.8 90 Mechanical/Blasting

The document summarizes slope mass rating parameters for an excavated slope that is 8 meters high, oriented at N269.8 degrees, and inclined at 90 degrees. A rock mass rating calculation based on strength, quality, discontinuity spacing and conditions, and groundwater rates the slope at 54. Additional slope mass rating parameters that account for dip direction, dip amount, and adjustment factors rate the slope at 45, requiring systematic rock bolt support.

Slope Mass Rating

Slope Height = 8 m
Slope Slope Direction = N269.8 Degree
Orientation Slope Inclination = 90 Degree
Description
Excavation Method Mechanical/Blasting
Rock Mass Rating (RMR) Parameters RMR Values
Parameters
1. Strength of Intact Rock (MPa) 8.125 Uniaxial Compressive Strength 2
2. Rock Quality Designation (RQD %) 54 13
3. Spacing of Discontinuities 0.35 m 10
4. Condition of Discontinuities
a. Discontinuity Length 20 m Assumed 1
b. Separation 1 mm 4
c. Roughness Rough 5
d. Infilling Hard < 5mm 4
e. Weathering Slightly 5
5. Groundwater Condition 10
Total = 54
Slope Mass Rating (SMR) Parameters
6. Adjustment Factors
Dip Direction = N265.4 Degree
Dip Amount = 11.5 Degree
A= -4.4 Degree F1 = 1
B= 11.5 Degree F2 = 0.15
C= -78.5 Degree F3 = -60
F4 = 0
SMR = 45

Therefore a systematic support (Rock Bolt) is necessary
