To accurately estimate the rock shear strength parameters of cohesion (C) and friction angle
(φ), triaxial tests must be carried out at different stress levels so that a failure envelope can …

Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and shear strength parameters (cohesion and angle of
internal friction, C and ϕ) of rocks are important parameters needed for various engineering …

The strength of intact rock is, together with the rock mass structure, probably the most
important properties for rock engineering. To accurately estimate the Mohr–Coulomb (MC) …

The strength of the intact rock is one of the most important aspects required to build
numerical models for many rock engineering projects, such as open pit mining and tunnel …

In this study, to minimize the difficulties encountered in the surface profile and shape of
testing samples in slake durability index test, a new sample preparation method that is …

This dissertation includes a multi-temporal slope stability assessment of landslides in the
reservoir area of a planned Çağlayan Dam on the Kayacık River, Akhisar, Manisa. The …

When it's essential to conduct intact rock strength tests on saturated samples to be
representative of rock mass, clay bearing rocks such as marl which might present water …

In this study, the effect of calcium carbonate on triaxial compression strength, uni-axial
compression strength (UCS), indirect tensile strength (σt) and slake durability index (Id) were …

In mining projects, intact rock properties which are necessary for rock mass behavior can be
determined by triaxial compression strength tests. Soma is one of the important coal basin …
