Joints play an important role in rock mechanics and geology. They influence rock mass classification systems like RQD, block size, RMR, and the Q-system. Joints also impact foundation strength, geohydrology, petroleum and mineral deposition, mechanical rock properties, mining feasibility, and toxic waste risk. Specifically, joints are factored into RQD, block size, RMR, and Q-system calculations. They also impart permeability that influences groundwater and fluid flow. Joint distributions control how ore-forming fluids circulate and where deposits form. Joints impact mechanical behavior and are an important consideration for engineering structures.

Evaluation of Structural Geology of Jabal OmarIJERD Editor
The proposed Jabal Omar Development project includes several multi-storey buildings, roads, bridges and below ground structures. Dykes and joints are the most common geological features in the area; they vary in thickness and orientation. The spacing between adjacent discontinuities largely control the size of individual blocks of rock masses which govern the stability of rock structures. The shearing and faulting system normally associated with tectonic movement making the area very weak, highly weathered and unstable.

1. Discuss the complexities in rock mechanics study and the factors contributing to these
complexities
Solution
ROCK MECHANICS:Rock mechanics is the theoretical and applied science of the mechanical
behaviour of rock and rock masses; it is that branch of mechanics concerned with the response of
rock and rock masses to the force fields of their physical environment.
As we all know Rock masses are complex systems to deal with and there will be certain
complexities and factors effecting these complxities when we are studying the rock and its
mechanisim.For example, soils in their operating engineering environments are always subject to
relatively low states of stress. The opposite is frequently true for rock. Further differences arise
from the relatively high elastic moduli, and the relatively low material permeabilities of rocks
compared with soils. The latter distinction is important. In most rock formations, fluid flow
occurs via fissures and channels, while in soils fluid migration involves movement through the
pore space of the particulate assembly.Therfore for better understanding of the rock mechanics
we better need to know the inherent complexities and factors that associated with it.
The Complxities involved in rock mechanics can be widely classified as the following based on
the problems that we face commonly while dealing with the mechanism and study of rock
Rock Fracture:
Fracture of conventional engineering material occurs in a tensile stress field, and different well
kown theories have already explained the pre-failure and post-failure performance of these
media. The stress fields operating in rock structures are mostly bcause of compressive force, so
that these well known theories are not immediately applicable to the fracture of rock. One of the
problem is that rock subject to compression is associated with friction developed between the
surfaces of the microcracks which are the sites for fracture initiation. This causes the strength of
rock to be highly sensitive to confining stress, and this causes problems in analysing the strength
and post-failure deformation properties of rock.There fore rock fracture will be one of the main
complex thing that needs to be considered in rock mechanics
Scale effects :
The response of rock to imposed load shows a significant effect of the size or scale of the loaded
volume. This effect is related in part to the discontinuous nature of a rock mass.Joints and other
fractures of geological origin are the main features in a body of rock, and thus the strength and
deformation properties of the mass are influenced by both the properties of the rock material (i.e.
the continuous units of rock) and those of the various structural geological features. These effects
may be appreciated by considering various scales of loading to which a rock mass is subjected in
mining practice. The process of rock drilling will generally reflect the strength properties of the
intact rock, since the process operates by in.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.
Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.

2. INTRODUCTION
• In geology, a joint is a fracture dividing rock into two sections that have not moved away from
each other. A joint sees little or no displacement.
• As Earth crust is full of joints, therefore their study and importance is very significance.
• joints are important not only in understanding the local and
regional geology and geomorphology, but also are important in development of natural
resources, the safe design of structures, and environmental protection. Joints have a profound
control on weathering and erosion of bedrock. As a result, they exert a strong control on how
topography and morphology of landscapes develop.
3. • Importance of joints in engineering and geological applications include:
1. In rock mass classification
2. foundation strength
3. Geohydrology/ Natural circulation of fluids
4. Petroleum and mineral deposition
5. Studying mechanical properties of rock masses
6. Mining and quarry operational feasibility
7. Toxic waste/ risk
4. 1. IN ROCK MASS CLASSIFICATION
a. In determination of RQD (Rock Quality Designation)
b. In determination of block size.
c. In determination of RMR (Rock Mass Rating)
d. In determination of rock quality ( Q system)
5. • In determination of RQD (Rock Quality Designation):
In many cases the degree of jointing is the most important factor for the stability of
rock masses. The volumetric joint count (Jv) is a simple measure of the degree of
jointing. It takes into account all the occurring joints and fractures and is easily
calculated from standard joint descriptions. The (Jv) has been used by engineering
geologists in Norway for several years and it has been a useful tool in the
description and classification of rock masses. The paper describes the procedure for
the calculation of the (Jv) and it shows how the joint spacings are included in the
measure.
RQD = 115 - 3.3 Jv.
Jv = Joint volumetric count
6. • In determination of block size:
Block size =
If 𝐽 𝑛 = 0, block size tends to infinite, it represents continuity i.e.
ground is made up of rock.
If 𝐽 𝑛 is more, ground is moving towards fractured ground.
Hence joints are very important parameter affecting geotechnical
behavior of ground.
𝑅𝑄𝐷
𝐽 𝑛
7. • In determination of RMR (Rock Mass Rating):
RMR is determined as an algebraic sum of six parameters given below:
1. Rock quality designation
2. Joint spacing
3. Joint condition
4. Joint orientation
5. Ground water condition
6. UCS of rock material.
RMR = RRQD + RJOINT SPACING + RJOINT CONDITION + RORIENTATION + RGROUND WATER CONDITION + RUCS
RMR Rock quality
0 - 20 Very Poor
21 - 40 Poor
41 - 60 Fair
61 - 80 Good
81 - 100 Very good
8. • In determination of rock quality ( Q system):
• The Q-system for rock mass classification is developed by Barton, Lien, and
Lunde. It expresses the quality of the rock mass in the so-called Q-value, on which
are based design and support recommendations for underground excavations.
• The Q-value is determined with

9. OTHER IMPORTANCE :
• Joints often impart a well-develop fracture-induced permeability to
bedrock. As a result, joints strongly influence, even control, the natural
circulation (geohydrology) of fluids.
• groundwater and pollutants within aquifers, petroleum in reservoirs,
and hydrothermal circulation at depth, within bedrock. Thus, joints are
important to the economic and safe development of petroleum,
hydrothermal, and groundwater resources and the subject of intensive
research relative to the development of these resources.
10. • Also, regional and local joint systems exert a very strong control on how ore-
forming (hydrothermal) fluids, consisting largely of H2O, CO2, and NaCl, that
formed most of Earth's ore deposits circulated within the Earth crust. As a result,
understanding their genesis, structure, chronology, and distribution is an important
part of finding and profitably developing ore deposits of various types.
• Finally, joints often form discontinuities that may have a large influence on the
mechanical behavior (strength, deformation, etc.) of soil and rock masses in, for
example, tunnel, foundation, or slope construction.
• As a result, joints are an important part of geotechnical engineering in practice and
research
