data set, the correlation between UCS and ultrasonic velocity travel time was expressed as UCS = 217.2 e-0.016(tp) for granite and UCS = 1110.6 e-0.037(tp) for schist and the coefficient of determination (R2) value for both granite and schist is 0.93. These correlations may be useful for applications related to geotechnical engineering designs.

Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) is a key physical test relevant to iron ore crusher design and rock geomechanics for mining. Tests are typically performed on intact lengths of NQ, HQ, or PQ diamond drill core and record the maximum axial load sustained at the point of failure.

The information below gives homeowners an brief overview of the strength attributes of two popular stone types and their respective Mohs hardness ratings. Granite. If you are wary of scratching or cracking your stone counter tops, you may consider installing granite. Granite is a very hard stone and resistant to damage.

• The peak stress is the strength of the rock. – It may fail catastrophically if the load frame is "soft". Example below is for a "stiff" frame. • The compressive strength of rock is a function of the confining pressure. • As the confining pressure increases so does the strength. Goodman, Intro to Rock .

Bearing Capacity of Rocks Intact Rock MassIntact Rock Mass A rock mass with joint spacing greater than 4 to 5 times the width of the footing. Local and General shear failure is associated to brittleGeneral shear failure is associated to brittle and ductile rock respectively.

METHODS TO QUANTIFY THE PARAMETERS APPLIED IN THE RMi ... or from other types of measurements of rock strength properties or jointing features. Some of the methods described are time-consuming and ... Granite, diorite, gabbro, syenite . Basalt, rhyolite, other volcanic rocks .

Definitions, Objectives and Applications Objective To determine the unconfined compressive strength (q u) of the soil Significance • A quick test to obtain the shear strength parameters of cohesive (fine grained) soils either in undisturbed or remolded state • The test is not applicable to cohesionless or coarse grained soils • The test is strain controlled and when the soil sample is ...

Chapter 4 Engineering Classification of Rock Materials 631.0400 Engineering properties of rock To use rock in engineering applications, certain prop-erties of the rock must be assessed to reasonably pre-dict performance in the as-built condition. The proper-ties of rock fall into two broad classes: rock material

the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), and to propose appropriate Is50 to UCS conversion factors for different coal measure rocks. The rock strength determined by the PLT, like the load frame strengths that they estimate, are an indication of intact rock strength and not necessarily the strength of the rock mass. THE UNIAXIAL COMPRESSIVE ...

162 Chapter 11: Rock mass properties statistical curve fitting process is used to derive an equivalent Mohr envelope defined by the equation: B ci n tm A ci σ σ−σ τ=σ ' (11.2) where A and B are material constants ' σn is the normal effective stress, and σtm is the 'tensile' strength of the rock mass.

In a rock mass where joint surfaces are characterised by moderate to high joint roughness coefficient values (JRC above 6 according to Barton and Choubey, 1977) and high joint wall compressive strength values (UCS above 100 MPa), the shear strength is determined by these characteristics.

Determination of the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of rocks is an important task for rock and geotechnical engineering applications.Direct measurement is expensive, time consuming and even infeasible in some circumstances due to the difficulty in obtaining core samples.

strength and/or deformation ppproperties of the rock. • According to the classification system recommended by the International Society of Rock Mechanics (ISRM 1978c), rock may range from extremely weak to extremely strong depending on the unconfined compressive strength (or Point Load Strength Index) or approximate field identification.

STRENGTH PROPERTIES OF ROCKS AND ROCK MASSES 1. INTRODUCTION 2. TESTING OF INTACT ROCK FOR STRENGTH ... rock mass strength depends on the strength of intact rock and the strength of rock discontinuities. In general, compared to intact rock, a rock mass has reduced tensile strength ... Granite Basalt Gneiss Schist Quart-zite Marble Lime-stone ...

purpose of rock mass classification, the use of the well -known point load strength index can be useful as the index can be determined in the field on rock core retrieved from borings and the core does not require any specimen preparation. Knowing the rock type and rock material hardness, it is possible for the experienced engineer or

Some Useful Numbers on the Engineering Properties of Materials (Geologic and Otherwise) GEOL 615 Coefficient of sliding friction ( ) For most rocks, varies between 0.8 and 0.5. A value of 0.60 would be a good number for general use. Glass on glass 0.4 Rubber on concrete 0.75 Steel on steel 0.55 Angle of internal friction ( Rock 30

uniaxial compressive strength ci of the intact rock pieces, value of the Hoek-Brown constant m i for these intact rock pieces, and value of the Geological Strength Index GSI for the rock mass. Intact rock properties For the intact rock pieces that make up the rock mass, equation (1) simplifies to: 0.5 ' ' 3 1 3 1

strength due to changes in moisture content seems The term soft rock is often referred to rock materials with a uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) lower than that of hard rocks and higher than that of soils. A rock material can be classified as a soft rock if it has a uniaxial compressive strength below 20 MPa,

strength is the most commonly measured strength parameter and this is also true of rock specimens. For the uniaxial or unconfined compressive strength test a right circular cylinder of the material is compressed between the platens of a testing machine as illustrated in Fig. 8.1. The

For basalt, norite and granite samples exposed to microwave energy of 1.2kW, 3kW and 5kW for 10, 65 and 120 seconds in a multimode cavity there was a significant reduction of tensile strength (Fig 4 ) and a slight reduction in the UCS of the rock samples (the specimen size influences the results of the tests).

The Hoek-Brown strength criterion was applied to estimate the strength of the rock mass at the Aznalcollar open pit. It was shown that by assuming disturbed rock mass, a good agreement was found between estimated strength values and back-calculated strengths from observed slope failures in the footwall. These values are probably conservative and

A measure of a material's strength. The unconfined compressive strength (UCS) is the maximum axial compressive stress that a right-cylindrical sample of material can withstand under unconfined conditions—the confining stress is zero.
