Methods of testing rocks for engineering purposes Rock strength tests - Determination of the deformability of rock materials in uniaxial compression - Rock strength less than 50 MPa
Standards Australia
This Standard sets out the method for determining uniaxial compressive strength, the
stress-strain characteristics, Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio of a rock sample in compression in the form of specimens of regular geometry of strength less than 50 MPa. The test is intended for strength classification and characterization of intact rock.
NOTE: Where the measured strength using this method exceeds 50 MPa this method may result in a measured strength that is less than the strength obtained in test method AS 4133.4.3.1.
CAUTION: SOME OF THE TESTS SPECIFIED IN THIS STANDARD INVOLVE THE USE OF PROCESSES THAT COULD LEAD TO A HAZARDOUS SITUATION.
