As with the compressive strength tests, the vesicular basalt sample (bas-02) displays the largest range of measured values.

The tensile strength of rock is defined as the pulling force, required to rupture a rock sample, divided by the sample's cross-sectional area. The tensile strength of rock is very small and is of the order of 0.1 times the compressive strength. Thus, a rock material is more likely to fail in tension than in compression.

Cylindrical specimens and aggregate samples with 10.0/14.0-mm-sized grains were made from rock blocks. The specimens were tested in dry, water-saturated and freeze–thaw subjected conditions. Bulk density, uniaxial compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, indirect tensile strength and water absorption were measured.

Kulhawy and Goodman (1987) suggested that, as a first approximation, the unconfined compressive strength σ cm of rock masses be taken as 0.33σ c when RQD is less than about 70% and then linearly increase to 0.8σ c when RQD increases from 70% to (see Fig. 8), where σ c is the unconfined compressive strength of the intact rock.

Knowing the rock type and rock material hardness, it is possible for the experienced engineer or engineering geologist to make fairly accurate estimates on rock material strength. These can be readily verified by uniaxial compressive strength or point load tests. A simple estimate can be made from the field test in Table 5.

Basalt was used as an ornamental stone in any historic and ancient cities in Jordan. Measuring the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and the tangent Young's modulus (Et) in the laboratory requires premium quality specimens with special core dimensions.

For basalt rocks, Malik et al.12 investigated Deccan basalt rock and found the dynamic compressive strength between about 170 MPa and 260 MPa at a strain rate of about 400/s to 1600/s. Lindholm et al.13 found a much lower dynamic strength of about 110 MPa to 125 MPa at a strain rate of about 600/s and 1100/s for Dresser basalt rock.

Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) is the most used parameter to measure rock strength. However, restrictions in sampling large volume of material, the need of very large set of results and onsite characterisation of UCS non-destructively are requirements in many scientific and engineering investigations.

The thermal effects on dynamic strengths of rock were investigated in some literatures (Latham et al., 2006, Lindholm et al., 1974, Zhang et al., 2001). Lindholm et al. (1974) utilized the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) to measure the dynamic uniaxial compressive strength of Dresser basalt with ambient temperatures up to 527 °C (strain …

Rock engineering tasks like tunnelling, dam and building construction, and rock slope stability rely heavily on properly estimating the rock's uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), a crucial rock geomechanical characteristic. As high-quality specimen are not always possible, scientists often estimate UCS indirectly. The primary objective of …
