Q5 a) The discontinuity characteristic mostly dominates failure in the rock mass. Thus, the selection of stabilisation must be made based on the mode of instability. Answer the following question: a) Figure Q5(a) shows two types of failure modes in rock; rockfall and wedge failure. State the rock mass characteristic that contributes to these failures and propose a suitable stabilisation measure for both cases? UTM ITIVA M M &UTM&UTM (ii) B) It is a common practice to install shotcrete and wire mesh together. For an unstable slope face, why such practice is highly recommended. What is the purpose of wire mesh in shotcrete installation?

Potential Water Table Slide Plane Stationary Material Two prominent geologic units in the study area that tend to be associated with landslides are the Lawton Clay and the Esperance Sand. For "worst-case", calculate the factor of safety for a 19° slope on the Lawton clay, given that yw =62.4 lbs/ft, and assuming that the weakest plane lies 6 ft below the surface. For the weathered Lawton, typical for the upper part of this unit, C = 0, = 33, and y, = 120 lbs/ft. Answer:
