Q1. What is RMR?
Ans. 
RMR stands for Rock Mass Rating, a system for classifying rock masses based on their geomechanical properties.
• RMR is used to assess the stability of rock masses in tunneling and mining.

• It considers factors like uniaxial compressive strength, rock quality, and groundwater conditions.

• For example, a high RMR value indicates good rock conditions, while a low value suggests potential instability.

• RMR values typically range f...read more

Q2. What is the rock bolt pull-out test?
Ans. 
A rock bolt pull-out test evaluates the anchorage strength of rock bolts in underground structures.
• Measures the bond strength between the rock and the bolt.

• Involves applying a tensile load to the bolt until failure occurs.

• Used to assess the effectiveness of rock support systems.

• Example: Testing rock bolts in a tunnel to ensure stability.

• Results help in designing safe and effective support systems.

Q3. What is the retention time for concrete?
Ans. 
Retention time for concrete refers to the duration it takes for concrete to achieve its desired strength and durability.
• Concrete typically reaches about 70% of its strength in 7 days.

• Full curing can take up to 28 days for most concrete mixes.

• Factors affecting retention time include temperature, humidity, and mix design.

• For example, high temperatures can accelerate curing, while low temperatures can delay it.

• Proper curi...read more

Q4. What is the difference between the New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM) and the Conventional Method of tunneling?
Ans. 
NATM focuses on utilizing the surrounding rock for support, while the Conventional Method relies on pre-defined structures.
• NATM uses the ground's natural strength, allowing for flexible design adjustments during excavation.

• Conventional Method often employs rigid support systems like steel ribs and shotcrete from the start.

• NATM is more adaptable to varying geological conditions, making it suitable for complex terrains.

• I...read more

Q5. What are the different types of rock bolts and their respective applications?
Ans. 
Rock bolts are essential for stabilizing rock masses in tunneling and mining, with various types suited for different applications.
• 1. Mechanical Rock Bolts: Used for immediate support in unstable rock conditions; examples include expansion bolts.

• 2. Grouted Rock Bolts: Provide long-term support by bonding with the rock; commonly used in underground mines.

• 3. Self-Drilling Anchors: Ideal for weak or fractured rock; they d...read more

Q6. What are the different types of rocks?
Ans. 
Rocks are classified into three main types: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, each formed through different geological processes.
• Igneous rocks: Formed from cooled magma or lava. Example: Granite, Basalt.

• Sedimentary rocks: Formed from the accumulation of sediment. Example: Sandstone, Limestone.

• Metamorphic rocks: Formed from existing rocks altered by heat and pressure. Example: Schist, Marble.

Q7. What is the minimum temperature required for pouring concrete?
Ans. 
Concrete should ideally be poured at temperatures above 50°F (10°C) to ensure proper curing and strength development.
• The minimum temperature for pouring concrete is generally 50°F (10°C).

• At temperatures below 40°F (4°C), special precautions are needed to prevent freezing.

• Using insulating blankets or heated enclosures can help maintain temperature.

• In cold weather, additives like accelerators can be used to speed up curi...read more

Q9. What is the purpose of shotcreting?
Ans. 
Shotcreting is a method of applying concrete through a nozzle to provide structural support and surface protection in tunnels.
• Provides immediate support to tunnel walls and ceilings, preventing collapses.

• Used to stabilize loose soil or rock surfaces, enhancing safety during excavation.

• Can be applied in various forms, such as dry-mix or wet-mix shotcrete, depending on project requirements.

• Commonly used in underground co...read more
