Engineering Geology (T2-T4)

These are the important characteristics of Geological materials, excepts . . . .

• Sediments materials

• Synthetic Polymer

• Intact Rock

• Fluid

It is the correct thing about engineering description of geological material . . . .

• The responsibility of young engineering geologist

• Focus on soil material

• All samples are for laboratory test

• The description parameter is the same with the geological one

These are parameters that included in engineering geological descriptions

• Color

• Fossil Content

• Permeability

• Strength

• The age of the rock or soil

To classify soil material using USCS Classification, we usually need these tests

• Sieve Test

• Casagrande test

• Point load test

• Slake durability test

The basic engineering properties include

• Density

• Porosity and permeability

• Strength

• Deformability

Geological Mass (Soil or Rocks) is the volume of ground that will be influenced by or will influence the engineering work

• True

• False

These are the terminology in rock discontinuities

• Bedding

• Filling

• Fossil Content

• Joint Set

• Roughness

The width of the joint gap, in the discontinuity plane, either open or filled with minerals is measured as

• Persistence

• Water Seepage

• Aperture

• Infilling

It is the one of description type of persistence in joint condition

• Wide

• Gapped

• Wet

• Undulating

The orientation of a discontinuity area could greatly affects the stability of the slope, especially if it is exposed to deformation forces which result in reduced shear strength

• True

• False
