Dissertation note ABSTRACT _ Upper Keng Tawng Hydropower project is located Mong Nai Township, Loilem district, about 14 miles away from Southern Keng Tawng in Southern Shan State. Upper Keng Tawng hydropower project has been carried out for hydropower generation. At the project area, the exposed Kalaw Formation (Cretaceous age) is composed of reddish colour sandstone, silstone and conglomerate. Along the tunnel aligmment, core drilling investigation and permeability test are carried out for geotechnical investigation. The percentage of RQD is generally ranging from 50% to 90% according to the drill holes results. Permeability in bed rock is ranging from 1 Lu to 16.9 Lu. Geomechanics classification and detailed slope stability analyses were performed for four locations in the project area. Spacings of discontinuities were measured in the field and the measured results were ranging from 0.4m to 0.6m while the persistence was ranging from 2.2m to 4.4m. Most of the discontinuity openings were between 3.12mm and 6.7mm and they were filed with some clay and silt. Rebound hammer test on some selected rock outcrops in the study area were ranging from 20 MPa to 50 MPa. The RMR value is ranging from poor rock to good rock condition and SMR value is almost rock condition but SMR value of tunnel inlet shows the bad rock condition. Detailed slope stability analyses had been carried out at four locations in the study area by stereographic projection in Win 64 Software and it revealed the factor of safety of 0.43 to 7.6. The areas with safety factor less than 2 are generally unstable and that of greater than 2 are stable. The unstable areas require some effected remedial measures and some suitable supporting and stabilizing methods are needed in the study area.
