Question:

A 20 foot diameter circular shaft is planned in a massive rock. Laboratory tests on core from exploration drilling show that

Co = 22,000 psi           To = 1,200 psi

γ = 144pcf                   E = 5 × 106 psi

G = 2.0 × 106 psi

Depth is 3,000 ft. Site measurements show that no tectonic stresses are present. Determine the factors of safety with respect to failure in compression and tension.
