The input parameters are summarized in Table 5-3. The RQD values selected for the Q- <br /> system inputs are based on an evaluation of measurements obtained from drill logs advanced <br /> in the South Quarry, which showed an average value of 50%. Figure 5-3 shows the <br /> distribution of RQD measurements. <br /> Morrison Quarry <br /> Rock Quality Designation(RQD) Measurements from the South <br /> Quarry <br /> 120 <br /> 100 <br /> 80 <br /> Z <br /> 60 <br /> O <br /> 40 <br /> 20 <br /> 0 ■ IIIIIIIIIIII� <br /> 2- 50 75 90 100 <br /> RQD <br /> Figure 5-3.
