During a field exploration program, rock was cored for a length of 4.5 m and the length of the rock core recovered was 2.5 m. All the rock pieces recovered having a length of 101.6 mm or more had a combined length of 2.1 m. Determine the recovery ratio and the rock quality designation. Use Table 17.9 to comment on the quality of the rock.
Find the recovery ratio and the rock quality designation and comment on the quality of rock.
Given information:
The length of the rock core covered is
The length of coring is
Calculation:
Calculate the recovery ratio using the equation:
On the basis of the length of the rock core obtained from each run, the following quantities can be obtained for evaluation of the quality rock.
Substitute
Thus, the recovery ratio is
