Paper presented at the 1st North American Rock Mechanics Symposium, June 1–3, 1994
Paper Number: ARMA-1994-0843
... ABSTRACT ABSTRACT: Physical model melanges made up of stronger stiffer blocks in a weaker softer matrix were created to study the effect block proportion and orientation have on melange mass strength and deformation properties. Test results indicate that increasing the block proportion...

Paper presented at the 1st North American Rock Mechanics Symposium, June 1–3, 1994
Paper Number: ARMA-1994-0867
... ABSTRACT ABSTRACT: Scaly clay is an argillaceous sediment, with a pervasive fabric of lenticular, highly polished, curved, slickensided surfaces and is commonly associated with mélange formations. In regions subject to tropical weathering regimes outcrops of this material erode rapidly giving...
