For RQD between 70 and 100 percent
from Eq. (17.22)
q_{b}\left(=q_{\max }\right)=4.83\left(q_{u}\right)^{0.51} MPa (17.22)
q_{b}\left(=q_{\max }\right)=4.83\left(q_{u}\right)^{0.5} MPa =4.83 \times(3)^{0.5}=8.37 MPa Q_{b}(\max )=\frac{3.14}{4} \times 1.5^{2} \times 8.37=14.78 MN =14,780 kNRelated Answered Questions
