Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) is of great importance for building stone. Index tests
have been widely used to quickly predict UCS due to the cumbersome and expensive …

The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of rocks is a vital geomechanical parameter widely
used for rock mass classification, stability analysis, and engineering design in rock …

Various methods have been proposed to indirectly assess the uniaxial compressive strength
(UCS) of intact rock when drilled cores are not available. Indentation test (IT) and point load …

To assess the effect the field stress on the in situ cone penetration test of rock, a series of
laboratory cone penetration tests was conducted to study the fundamental relationship …

The purpose of this study is to investigate the engineering mechanical properties of granite
after various heating/cooling treatments through laboratory investigation. Granite specimens …

To study the mechanical responses of large cross-section tunnel reinforced by pretensioned
rock bolts and anchor cables, an analytical model is proposed. Considering the interaction …

The paper presents experimental observations of the anisotropic effect of dry and saturated
lineated schistose rock on deformational behaviour and fracture patterns under indirect …

Rock strength is one of the most important parameters in geotechnical engineering. During
excavation using a tunnel boring machine (TBM), a rapid and effective method to estimate …

Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) is a critical rock mechanical parameter. Conventional
UCS measurement is cumbersome and the point load test is widely used to estimate UCS …

Relationships between drilling parameters and the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of
rocks are typically established through measurement while drilling (MWD) by analyzing …
