This contains methods of exploration in rock. How the rock samplers are taken. Quality of rock samples and its reporting. Along with the laboratory tests conducting on these rock samples.
Engineering geology is the application of the science of geology to the technology of ground engineering. The subject requires a comprehensive knowledge of geology, as well as an understanding of engineering properties and behaviour of the geological materials. The practice involves site investigation and site characterization specific to the needs of the engineering project. The geotechnical engineer plays a key role in most civil engineering projects as most structures are built on or in the ground. Geotechnical engineers assess the properties and behaviour of soil and rock formations.

1. OBJECT
The hardness test is a mechanical test for material properties which are used in engineering
design, analysis of structures, and materials development. The principal purpose of the
hardness test is to determine the suitability of a material for a given application, or the
particular treatment to which the material has been subjected. The ease with which the
hardness test can be made has made it the most common method of inspection for metals and
alloys.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

INTRODUCTION
METHODS OF EXPLOXATION IN ROCK
ROCK SAMPLERS
QUALITY OF ROCK SAMPLE
REPORTING OF ROCK SAMPLE
LABORATORY TESTING
REFERENCES
3. INTRODUCTION
In rock, except for very soft or partially decomposed sandstone or
limestone, blow counts are at refusal level (N > 100).
If samples are required then replace the soil drilling with rock drilling
equipment.
If rock is close to ground surface, it will be necessary to conform that it is
rock strata or a suspended boulder(s).
When rock is involved it is necessary to know its geological background.
A knowledge of area geology is also useful to determine both type of rock
& probable quality. This may save the expensive.

5. TEST PITS
It is most satisfactory for determining foundation conditions in rock,
since the exposed bed rock surface can be closely inspected.
The strength of the rock & ease of excavation can be determine by
trial with a pick or compressed-air tools.
Blocks or cylinders of the rock can be cut for laboratory tests.
It is economical when bed rock lies within 3 m of ground surface.
It should be used instead of boreholes when rock level is shallower
than 2m below ground level, but for depths between 2 and 3m a few
pit can be dug.

7. PERCUSSION DRILLING
In this method breaking up of formation (rocky strata) is done by
repeated blows from a bit or chisel.
Water should be added to the hole at the time of drilling and debris
is scooped out at an interval.
By driving the sampler into the rocky strata, cores can be obtained
at interval using suitable tools.
This method is suitable only for drilling bore holes in boulderous or
gravelly strata.
7
8. ROTARY DRILLING
It is most rapid method for penetrating highly resistant material
unless the deposit is very loose or badly fissured.
A rapidly rotating drilling bit grinds the material at the bottom of the
hole into small particles.
The particles are removed by circulating water or drilling fluid same
as wash boring.
Usually casing is not required, but if hole tends to collapse a drilling
fluid consisting of thixotropic volcanic clay in water is used.
Rotary boring in rock vary in diameter from about 1 inch to more
than 36 inch.

10. ROCK SAMPLERS
The samples obtained from rock drilling
are known as “Rock Cores”.
Rock coring is the process in which a
sampler consisting of a tube (core
barrel) with the cutting bit at its lower
end cuts an annular hole in a rock mass.
Thereby creating a cylindrical or core of
rock which is recovered in the core
barrel.
Core barrels does function of both
drilling & retaining the sample attached
to drilling rod.
Core barrels may consist of a single tube
or a double tube as shown in fig.
Fig:- Core barrel:- (a) single tube ,(b) double
tube
Source:- “FOUNDATION ENGINEERING” by
Ralph B. Peck, Hanson & Thornburn10
11. Sample taken in single tube barrel are likely disturbed due to torsion, swelling &
contamination by drilling fluid.
This can be avoided in hard, intact, rocky strata.
In double tube barrel, core is protected from circulating fluid because the inner
tube of the double tube prevents washing away of core due to prolonged flow of
water.
Cutting edge called coring bit at end of the barrel are generally of diamond bit &
tungsten carbide bit.

15. QUALITY OF ROCK SAMPLE
The quality of rock core encountered in boring from the barrel are influenced by
drilling technique & type and size of barrel used.
The length of core recovered inside the core barrel is measure of the soundness
of the rock.
Core recovery in % =
Length of rock piece collected
Length drilled
∗ 100
Better estimate of in-suit rock quality is obtained by a modified core recovery
ratio known as Rock Quality Designation (RQD).
RQD in % =
Length of core in piece of 101.6 mm or 4 in. and above
Total length of drilling

18. LABORATORY TESTS
Rock cores are subjected to various laboratory testing such as:-
1. Uniaxial compressive strength test
2. Point load test
3. Tensile strength test
4. Slake durability test
5. Sound velocity test
6. Direct shear test
18
19. UNIAXIAL COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH TEST
Compressive strength is the maximum stress that a rock specimen can sustain.
The purpose is to determine the compressive strength of cylindrical specimen
with slenderness ratio (height/diameter) of 2to 3.
When no adequate core length is available, a slenderness ratio of 1 or more may
be adopted and suitable correction to compressive strength is made.
σc = σc1 0.778+
0.222
(𝐿/𝑑)
Where, σc1 = compressive strength for L/d = 1
σc = compressive strength for required L/d > 1 and ≤ 2.
The compressive strength of intact rock at failure is given by:-
σc i =
𝑃𝑓
𝐴0
Where, Pf = failure or peak load
A0 = initial c/s area of the specimen perpendicular to the direction of
loading.
19
20. The diameter of specimen shall be more than 10 times the largest grain size in
rock, preferable > 45mm but not < 35 mm.
The load is applied to specimen through a spherical seating platen at constant
rate of 0.5 to 0.1 MPa/s until peak load and failure are obtained and test is
completed in 5 to 10 min.

Weak 1.25 to 5
Moderately weak 5 to 12.5
Moderately strong 12.5 to 50
Strong 50 to 100
Very strong 100 to 200
Extremely strong Greater than 200
22. POINT LOAD TEST
Perform on irregular pieces of rock with diameter ranging from 30mm to 50mm.
Test is conducted in a point load tester.
Specimen is tested between two hardened conical tips having 5mm curvature &
60 ̊ conical angle in a rigid frame.
22
23. Point load strength index is given as: Is50 =
P
d2
where, P= failure load
d= size of specimen measured after placing between conical tips.
The compressive strength is given by
σci = K*Is50
Value of K varies from 15 to 35 (ISRM 1985) for most rocks; often taken in range
of 20 – 25.
When 50 mm size particle are not available, correction is to be made by
Is50 = F

24. TENSILE STRENGTH TEST
Difficulties associated with performing direct uniaxial tension tests have led
indirect method such as Brazilian split tension test.
Diameter of disc and ring specimen for Brazilian split tension test shall not be
less than 45mm and thickness shall be approximately equal to half.

Difficulties associated with performing direct uniaxial tension tests have led
indirect method such as Brazilian split tension test.
Diameter of disc and ring specimen shall not be less than 45mm and
thickness shall be approximately equal to half.
In Brazilian test a disc shape specimen of rock is loaded by two opposing
normal strip loads at the disc periphery.
Radius of jaws shall be 1.5 times specimen radius.
Width of jaws shall be 1.1 times the specimen thickness.
Apply continues constant rate of load on specimen such that failure in
weakest rocks occur within 15 to 30 sec. loading rate of 200 N/s is
recommended.
Tensile strength, σt =2P/∏DL
27. 27
SLAKE DURABILITY TEST
Purpose of the test is to determine the resistance of the rock against
disintegration when subjected to cycles of drying & wetting.
Select 10 oven dried rock lumps each of 40 -60 g, with total mass of 450 -500 g.
Place in 140 mm diameter cylindrical drum having 2 mm mesh. Supported on
trough containing tap water at 20˚C.
Fig:-Setup of slake durability test
28. 28
Drum is rotated at a speed of 20 rpm for 10 min. After 200 revolution lumps
are oven dry at 105˚C and weighted.
These oven dried lumps are again subjected to second cycle of revolutions,
oven-dried and weighed.
Slake durability index (second cycle), Id2= W3/ W1 * 100 (%)
W1= initial dry mass, W3= final dry mass
If Id2 is between 0 to 10 % , slake durability index based on first cycle of drying
and wetting is estimated as: Id1= W2/ W1 * 100 (%)
W2 = dry mass after first cycle.
SLAKE DURABILITY INDEX Id2 (%) CLASSIFICATION
0 – 30 Very Low
30-60 Low
60-85 Medium
85-95 Medium high
95-98 High
98-100 Very High

SOUND VELOCITY TEST
Use to determine the velocity of elastic wave propagation through rock in
laboratory.
It is non-destructive, fast & inexpensive test compare to other.
The main electronic component include:-
Fig:-Layout of electronic components P & S waves
30. 30
Rock core of length more than three times the core diameter are used.
End of the core are to be smooth & flat. Film of grease is applied on the ends
to have proper contact with the transducers.
Energy transmission between transducers will enable to determine velocities of
compressional (P wave / longitudinal) and shear wave (S wave/ transverse).
Velocity of P and S waves are given by:
vp = d/tp and vs = d/ts
vp = velocity of P- wave
vs = velocity of S- wave
d= distance of travel
ts and tp = times taken by S- wave and P-waves
31. 31
DIRECT SHEAR TEST
Test is performed to determine the shear strength parameters ‘c’ and ‘Φ’ along
the joint by shear/ sliding action.
This test is conducted by shearing the specimen in a direct shear machine with
the failure plane oriented parallel to a shear box.
Normal load on the vertical plane of shear could be varied and vertical shear
load is determined at failure.
Plotting of normal stress and corresponding shear stress at failure, the shear
strength parameter could be estimated.
