By using a synthetic shale, one batch of es- sentially identical specimens can be prepared under controlled 'laboratory conditions so that consistent and comparable test results can...

... the components of hardening from macroscopic test results. In this paper, the authors present a general approach aimed at obtaining experimentally these informations from laboratory tests on rocksalt samples. The proposed procedure is based on the use of triaxial compression tests. Using schematic...

ABSTRACT ABSTRACT: Within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) results from laboratory shear strength tests are an important ingredient in the often complex process of selecting shear strengths judged to be representative of insitu strengths. Variability in test results on seemly similar...

... the post-peak modulus, based on a large number of uniaxial compression test results on igneous rocks. Also, using an extended data base on over 50 different types of rocks of various origins, the authors propose some critical BIM values that can be used to evaluate, in a preliminary manner, the bursting...
