A Review of the Tensile Strength of Rock: Concepts and …

The clustering suggests that even though the specimens are all meta-granites, natural variability at the same project site influences the strength of the material. Further study is required to explore how natural variability within a specific rock type influences the relationships examined in the paper.

Influence of degree of interlock on confined strength of jointed hard

The strength of a rock block is influenced by the strength of the intact part of the block as well as the strength of discrete defects (e.g. veins) within a block. In a highly interlocked jointed rock mass at low confinement, the high rock block strength causes geometric dilation, resulting in a rapid increase in the confined strength and thus ...

Influence of rock falls, rock strength, and joint orientation on

Rock strength is based on the spacing, width, and orientation of joints. Joint spacing will influence the size of the debris that will fall from the wall. Larger boulders fall less frequently, require more force to be moved, and tend to occur when joints are widely spaced. Small spaces between joints create smaller particles which are easier to ...

Influences of petrographic and textural properties on the strength …

In this study, the petrographic characteristics affecting the strength of granitic rocks were investigated and a new mineralogical-based model was suggested for the prediction of uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) in line with the obtained data.

A clearly visible upward trend and downward trend of the strength before and after 100°C can be observed. At 90°C, the maximum increase in tensile strength was calculated as 21.45% while at 130°C a rapid fall in tensile strength up to 25% was found as compared to the strength reduction at 110°C (12.93%) (Fig. 5 ).
