    The document describes a 30m high slope made of granite with an overall face angle of 50 degrees in the direction of 200 degrees. It notes several steeply dipping joint sets and sheet joints visible in the slope. It provides the dip angle and direction for the overall slope, sheet joints, and three joint sets. It also provides the friction angle of the granite from laboratory studies. The task is to illustrate this information on a stereographic projection and identify which joint intersection may cause future rock instability.

    QUIZ 4: Due 04/06/2021

    30

    A 30 m high slope has an overall face angle of dip at 50 with dip direction
    200. The slope is in reasonably fresh granite but several sets of steeply
    dipping joints are visible and sheet jointing is evident.

    Features Dip Angle () Dip direction ()


    Overall slope face 50 200
    Sheet Joint 35 190
    Joint set 1 80 233
    Joint set 2 80 040
    Joint set 3 70 325
    From laboratory studies, the friction angle φ = 30°.

    Illustrate this on the stereographic projection, and give reasons which joint
    intersection may be responsible for future rock instability
