ABSTRACT Ultrasonic (500 kHz) P‐and S‐wave velocity and attenuation anisotropy were measured in the laboratory on synthetic, octagonal‐shaped, silica‐cemented sandstone …
Fractured rocks are known to exhibit seismic anisotropy and shear wave splitting (SWS). SWS is commonly used for fractured rock characterization and has been shown to be …
Understanding rock strength is essential when undertaking major excavation projects, as accurate assessments ensure both safe and cost-effective engineered slopes. Balancing the …
