P-wave velocity (VP) is often employed to determine and characterize the strength
properties of rock materials. VP is a nondestructive test, cost-effective and easy to apply …

Coral aggregate concrete (CAC) is a material that is becoming increasingly popular in reef
concrete structural applications. In the present work, CAC was cast in a wide range of …

Physico-mechanical properties are critically important parameters for rocks. This study aims
to examine some of the rock properties of quartz-mica schist (QMS) rocks in a cost-effective …

Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of rocks is the most commonly used parameter in geo-
engineering application. However, this parameter is hard for measurement due to a time …

This study examines the mineralogy, texture, and weathering grades of intrusive igneous
rocks from northern Pakistan, as well as their impacts on physical and strength properties. In …

Rock mechanics and rock engineering projects require determining, among other
parameters, the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of rock. For such a purpose, it is not …

Rock stability has long been a hot topic during underground energy exploitation, but the
failure process of rock materials under earthquake effects is extremely complicated, and the …

In the rock mechanics and rock engineering field, the strength parameter considered to
characterize the rock is the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS). It is usually determined in …

In this paper, several mechanical deformation curves of limestone are reviewed, and the
effects of temperature, confining pressure, and fluid are discussed. Generally, Mohr …

Bedrock has to be excavated before the construction of rock-socketed pile foundations for
offshore wind power turbines, leading to the exposure of fresh and dry rocks to seawater …
