c. Fracture sets <br />'• 1) observations at 16 outcrop areas representing <br /> approximately 1,900 joints and bedding planes <br /> 2. Laboratory Work - Twenty-six core samples from the stored core <br />` boxes were shipped to Che rock mechanics laboratory of F. M. <br /> Fox and Associates in Denver, Colorado, for testing. The <br /> tests performed on these samples included the following: <br />1 <br />1 a. 38 physical properties tests (specific gravity, dry unit <br />~! weight, and moisture content) <br /> b. 14 uniaxial compression tests <br />(( c. 23 triaxial compression tests <br />1, d. 17 indirect tensile tests <br /> Soil samples from the clayey soil seams interbedded with rock <br /> strata were obtained and tested at W. A. Wahler and Associates' <br /> <br />I laboratory in Palo Alto, California. Tests oerformed on four <br />... <br />bag samples included the following: <br />I• a. 3 sieve analyses <br />ff b. 3 specific gravity tests <br /> d. 6 triaxial compression tests <br /> d. 2 permeability tests <br /> e. 2 Atterberg Limits tests <br /> 3. Engineering Analyses - The engineering analyses consisted of <br />L data interpretation and the stability analysis of various slope <br /> configurations: <br /> a. Data interpretation <br /> 1) summary of rock quality data and RQD index data <br />I 2) analyses of laboratory test information on rock and <br />L soil <br /> 3) evaluation of geology and field joint survey data in <br />L terms of slope stability and rock rippability <br />I <br />L <br />WA.WAHLER Project 0807 II-3 <br />~- & ASSOCIAi6 <br />
