QUIZ 8. Identification (Rock Mechanics and Introduction: Geological and Geophysical Investigation )
Instruction: Choose the correct answer from the box provided. Write the letters ONLY on the blank before the question.
1. Defined as the theoretical and applied science of the mechanical behavior of rock and rock masses.
2. It refers to how connected pore spaces are to one another.
3. Exploration or discovery of the ground conditions to enable engineers to make informed design decisions.
4. Is the materials ability to resist forces that can cause the internal structure of thematerial to slide against it.
5. To assess the general suitability of a site and its environs for the proposed work.
6. A visual examination of the site which complements the desk study and typically provides valuable information on matters
such as topography, geology, surface, and ground water, vegetation, ecology, contamination, and structures.
7. Refers to the energy absorbed by a rock during fracture propagation
8. Ability of certain rocks to flow or change shape permanently when subjected to stresses beyond their elastic limit.
9. Refers to the property of reversibility of deformation when subjected to a load
10. It refers to the amount of empty space within a given material.
