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

Abstract. One of the most important quality and design parameters of natural rock materials is uniaxial compressive strength (UCS). UCS value of a building stone determines its application area such as cladding, roofing, facing, and coverings.

strength reduction in all weathering grades are not so obvious since all specimens show variation of strength reduction from 5 % to 15 %. Then it can be deduce that 50% amplitudes of cyclic loads could reduce uniaxial compressive strength of weathered granite up to 15% average.

σc = uniaxial compressive strength of the intact rock material, σ1 = major principal stress at failure, and σ3 = minor principal stress at failure. The uniaxial compressive strength for the rock mass, σc, rockmass, can be expressed by setting σ3 = 0 in Equation thus obtaining σc, rockmass =σc s . ()

Based on an enlarged experimental program of uniaxial compressive tests in different granite lithotypes, it was possible to obtain complete stressstrain diagrams through an appropriate circumferential displacement control, from which the elastic and fracture properties were derived.

Mar 30, 2017· The granite used in this research was collected from an outcrop at the depth of 2 m in Nan''an City, Fujian Province, China. The diameter and the height of the specimens used for uniaxial compression were 50 mm and 100 mm respectively, in line with the recommendations of the International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM).

The clustering of events in uniaxial compression (asymmetric or symmetric) is restricted to the postfailure region of rock, as was observed in triaxial compression tests (Lockner et al. 1992). In our uniaxial tests on Aue granite the fractal dimension dropped to in .

strength with increasing sample size. Based upon an analysis of published data, Hoek and Brown (1980a) have suggested that the uniaxial compressive strength V cd of a rock specimen with a diameter of d mm is related to the uniaxial compressive strength V c50 of a 50 mm diameter sample by the following relationship: 50 50 ¸ ¹ ...

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.

Estimating compressive strength. General rock failure criterion can be reduced to a few parameters dependent on lithology (m) and the uniaxial compressive strength (C 0). Lithology is commonly derived during log analysis, so m may be estimated (Table 1). What is needed still is an initial measure of rock strength provided by C 0.

Jul 30, 2019· In this paper, we have examined the crack formation of weathered granite by monitoring acoustic emissions (AE) under uniaxial compression. Except for the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), the thresholds have been determined for crack closure, crack initiation and .

A total of 70 and 24 ultrasonic and uniaxial compressive strength tests have been conducted on the granite and schist respectively. Figures 4 and 5 show the laboratory results of granite and schist plotted against the established empirical relationships between uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and ultrasonic velocity travel time (t p)

The strength values are comparable to determinations of uniaxial compressive strength tests of Westerly granite, which range from 130 MPa to 210 MPa (Heard and others, 1974). The slopes of bestfitting lines to the elastic portions of the stressstrain data from the strength experiments were taken for the values of Young''s modulus.

These granite samples are light coloured and have a coarse grain size as reported by Goh (2012). Figure 1: Location of test sites, Peninsular Malaysia METHODOLOGY The uniaxial compressive strength test is used to measure the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of intact rock.

The compressive strength of granite (depth = 1377–2002 m) taken from GPK1 (see Fig. 1 for location) was found to range between 120 and 485 MPa at a confining pressure of 40 MPa (Rummel 1992), and uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) values between 100 and 130 MPa are reported for unaltered granite from SoultzsousForêts in an unpublished ...

Uniaxial compression tests have been conducted on Oshima granite under various constant axial strain rates ranging from 10 −8 to 10 − results showed that the strength and the acoustic emission rate increased exponentially with increasing strain rate.

Results illustrate that the migmatite has the highest uniaxial compressive strength (/mm2), and the micaceous quartzite has the minimum uniaxial compressive strength (/mm2). Other rocks in the area such as porphyritic granite, granite gneiss and mica schist have uniaxial compressive strength of /mm2, N/mm2 and /mm2 ...
