1.0 INTRODUCTION

The objective of this report is to estimate the rock mass quality at OPG’s DGR for L&ILW site, along the shaft

pilot borehole DGR-8 and the ventilation shaft investigation borehole DGR-7. This characterization is for the

purpose of estimating the parameters for numerical modelling and for engineering purposes. The results of this

analysis are presented herein.

Two independent classification systems were used for parameter estimation, the Norwegian Geotechnical

Institute (NGI) Tunnelling Index (Q)[1]

and the Bieniawski’s Rock Mass Rating (RMR) system (1976)[2][3][4]

. All of

the parameters required in these systems were measured or estimated directly in the field using set guides (see

Golder’s Geotechnical Logging of DGR-7 and DGR-8 report, 1011170042-REP-G2040-0004-01)[5]

.

2.0 ROCK MASS QUALITY

2.1 NGI Tunnelling Index, Q

The modified NGI Q′ was used to characterize the rock mass by formation along both DGR-7 and DGR-8. The

parameters for water and stress (Jw and SRF) were not considered in this classification as they are accounted

for directly in the modelling stage and should not be double counted. The modified Q′ value is defined as:

Where

RQD = Rock Quality Designation

Jn = Joint Set Number

Jr = Joint Roughness Number

Ja = Joint alteration Number.

A description of these parameters can be found in Table 3.1.

2.2 Geomechanics Classification, RMR

The 1976 RMR version of the Geomechanics Classification[4]

(Table 3.2) was also used to characterize the rock

mass by formation along DGR-7 and DGR-8 as the Hoek-Brown parameters m and s were originally derived

using this version of RMR. As previously mentioned, the parameters used were measured directly in the field.

The strength factor in this system was taken from the field estimation of the strength index, the guide for which

can be found in the Geotechnical Logging of DGR-7 and DGR-8 report (1011170042-REP-G2040-0004-01)[5]

.

2.3 Rock Mass Quality by Run

Rock mass characterization per run was based on RMR’76

. The data collected from the investigations of

boreholes DGR-7 and 8 were used to assemble the geotechnical information by run. The statistical information

for the five parameters comprising RMR was compiled as follows:

International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM) Strength Index – Compiled from core logging on a per run

basis;



RQD – Compiled from core logging by run;

Spacing of Discontinuities – Compiled from distances between fractures recorded from core logging;

Condition of Discontinuities (JCon[4][5]

) – Compiled from core logging for each discontinuity individually; and

Water Condition – Assumed dry.

The water condition was assumed dry as the modelling tools consider this directly and it should not be

accounted for twice.

Figures 1 and 2 show a graphical representation of the recovery, RQD, fractures per metre by run, the

estimation of ISRM strength index collected by Golder in the field, and the descriptions of the geological units

that were provided by Geofirma Engineering Ltd, for DGR-7 and DGR-8[6]

.

2.4 Rock Mass Quality by Formation

Characterization of the rock mass by formation was performed probabilistically and was based on the modified

NGI Tunnelling Index Q′ and Bienawski’s Rock Mass Rating (RMR) system (1976). These are the two systems

that are most widely accepted and employed by rock mechanics practitioners and provide independent

classifications that can be compared based on established relationships.

Data collected from the geotechnical investigations of the drillholes DGR-7 and DGR-8 was compiled statistically

for each formation, based on depths provided by Geofirma Engineering. The statistical information for the

parameters comprising Q′ and RMR’76 were compiled as follows:

RQD – compiled from core logging on a per run basis and then grouped by formation;

Jn – compiled from core logging on a per run basis and then grouped by formation;

Jr – compiled from core logging for each individual discontinuity; and

Ja – compiled from core logging for each individual discontinuity;

Strength rating – Compiled on a per run basis from core logging and then grouped by formation;

Joint Condition – Compiled from core logging for each individual discontinuity and then grouped by formation;

Joint Spacing – Compiled from fracture frequency from logging by formation or from individual fracture depths;

and

Water Condition – Assumed dry (i.e., no penalty for water).

The ratio of Jr/Ja characterizes the frictional strength of an individual discontinuity and was therefore calculated

for each discontinuity individually and then compiled by formation. Note that a minimum Jn of 2, corresponding

to one joint set, was assigned to all runs where a lower value was recorded as the formations encountered all

contain horizontally bedded strata.

Joint spacing was compiled using two different methods. The inverse of the fracture frequency was used for

formations where the individual discontinuities did not give a realistic representation of the joint spacing



throughout the formation. For example, in formations below the Salina formation, where discontinuities were

sparser, the inverse of fracture frequency was used so that the large gaps between fractures were accounted for

instead of giving a bias to the more closely spaced fractures. From the Lucas formation to the end of the Salina

formation, spacing was compiled based on the individual discontinuities present, as these discontinuities

appeared consistently through the formations. Broken and lost core intervals were also more frequent in these

shallower formations, which is reflected in the fracture frequency, and therefore would have skewed the spacing.

For the RMR classification, the rock mass was assumed dry as the modelling tools consider this directly and it

should not be accounted for twice.=An Excel Spreadsheet with an @Risk add-in was set up for each formation

with histogram distributions of the various components of Q′ and RMR’76 used in the probabilistic simulations. A

Latin Hypercube Sampling technique was used in the analysis. Latin Hypercube sampling is a development in

sampling technology designed to accurately recreate the input distribution through sampling in fewer iterations

when compared with the Monte Carlo method (Iman et al., 1980)[7]

. The key to Latin Hypercube sampling is

stratification of the input probability distributions. Stratification divides the cumulative curve into equal intervals

on the cumulative probability scale (0 to 1.0). A sample is then randomly taken from each interval or

“stratification” of the input distribution. Sampling is forced to represent values in each interval, and thus, is

forced to recreate the input probability distribution.

Figures 3 and 4 show summaries of the rock mass quality profile by run as well as the probability density

functions for each formation.

The input parameter distributions for each formation are shown in Figures 5 to 28. Histogram distributions were

used for the strength rating, RQD and joint spacing. Discrete distributions were used for sampling Jcon, Jn and

Jr/Ja.

Figures 29 to 52 show the estimated rock mass quality for each rock type by formation in the form of probabilistic

distributions. Probability density functions in histogram format and complementary cumulative density functions

for RMR’76

and Q′ are provided for each formation. Note that formations that are not large enough to give

meaningful statistical RMR and Q′’ results were included as groups, that is, the smaller Salina formation units

are included in the entire Salina formation analysis and the Middle Silurian represents the Guelph, Goat Island,

Gasport, Lions Head and Fossil Hill formations together.

While a probabilistic analysis was performed for both RMR’76

and modified Q′, the limited nature of the input data

results in Q′ distributions that are not exponential. In the shallower formations there is a greater spread of

statistical data available due to the large number of fractures recorded, however in deeper formations (generally

in the lower part of the Salina and below) the insufficient spread of data of the input distributions causes the

scattered nature of the output Q′ distributions.

Due to the fact that there are no joints in the Collingwood and Lower Member of the Cobourg formation and in

the Sherman Fall formation, only a deterministic assessment has been made. Also, the borehole was terminated

less than 1 m into the Kirkfield formation, therefore, no assessment was made in the Kirkfield formation.

3.0 DISCUSSION

A summary of the Rock Quality Designation (RQD), UCS and Joint Condition (Jcon) by geological formation are

given in Table 3.3. The RQD values are generally very high and indicate the good core quality of the rock units,

especially in the lower formations. The upper formations are more fractured. Average Jcon values indicate that



the joint surfaces, which are primarily bedding, have similar characteristics throughout the various formations.

Surfaces are generally slightly rough with less than 1 mm of separation, but vary due to the softer nature of the

shale units and harder limestone units.

From the statistical treatment of the data, a summary of rock mass quality by geological unit based on the 50%

(average) reliability and 80% (conservative) reliability is shown in Table 3.4. The statistical distributions of

RMR’76

for each formation, as well as the RMR’76

profile by run are shown in Figures 3 and 4. The

corresponding Q′ distributions can be found in Figures 29 to 52. As previously discussed, the limited nature of

some of the input data (due to the decreasing number of recorded joints in the lower formations) resulted in

scattered Q′ probability density functions that do not follow an exponential trend, as would otherwise be

expected.

Table 3.4 also shows the equivalent RMR’76

values calculated from the statistically obtained Q′ values according

to the formula[4]

:

The equation used is not an exact relationship between the two systems, but provides a good indication of how

they compare. The numbers generally show good agreement, however some of the Q′ values tend to be higher

in relation to the corresponding RMR values. These discrepancies stem from the nature of the geotechnical data

recorded in the field. For example, in the Queenston formation, the Jr/Ja ratio is disproportionately high

compared to the Jcon values recorded and consequently produced a Q ′ that was extremely high. These values

were adjusted accordingly as indicated in Figure 25.

ADDITIONAL NOTES ON THE USE OF THESE TABLES

When making estimates of the rock mass Quality (Q), the following guidelines should be followed in addition to the notes listed in the tables:

1. When borehole core is unavailable, RQD can be estimated from the number of joints per unit volume, in which the number of joints per metre for each joint set are added. A simple relationship can be used to convert this number to RQD for the case of clay free rock masses: RQD = 115 - 3.3 Jv (approx.), where Jv = total number of joints per m

3 (0 < RQD < 100 for 35 > Jv > 4.5).

2. The parameter Jn representing the number of joint sets will often be affected by foliation, schistosity, slaty cleavage or bedding etc. If strongly developed, these parallel 'joints' should obviously be counted as a complete joint set. However, if there are few 'joints' visible, or if only occasional breaks in the core are due to these features, then it will be more appropriate to count them as 'random' joints when evaluating Jn.

3. The parameters Jr and Ja (representing shear strength) should be relevant to the weakest significant joint set or clay filled discontinuity in the given zone. However, if the joint set or discontinuity with the minimum value of Jr/Ja is favourably oriented for stability, then a second, less favourably oriented joint set or discontinuity may sometimes be more significant, and its higher value of Jr/Ja should be used when evaluating Q. The value of Jr/Ja should in fact relate to the surface most likely to allow failure to initiate.

4. When a rock mass contains clay, the factor SRF appropriate to loosening loads should be evaluated. In such cases the strength of the intact rock is of little interest. However, when jointing is minimal and clay is completely absent, the strength of the intact rock may become the weakest link, and the stability will then depend on the ratio rock-stress/rock-strength. A strongly anisotropic stress field is unfavourable for stability and is roughly accounted for as in note 2 in the table for stress reduction factor evaluation.

5. The compressive and tensile strengths (σc and σt) of the intact rock should be evaluated in the saturated condition if this is appropriate to the present and future in situ conditions. A very conservative estimate of the strength should be made for those rocks that deteriorate when exposed to moist or saturated conditions.
