Show Hint
Bulking factor quantifies volume increase in fragmented rock mass.
Updated On: June 02, 2025
- Roof-to-floor convergence in a mine roadway
- Change in axial length of a rock sample with respect to its original length
- Change in normal displacement of a rock sample as a result of shear displacement
- Change in volume of rock mass to its original volume after it breaks
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Bulking factor is the ratio of the volume of broken rock to the volume of solid rock, reflecting increase in volume due to fracturing.
