A correlative study on textural properties and crushability of rocks

Uniaxial compressive strength tests were carried out on smooth-cut core samples, 54.7 mm diameter and with a length-to-diameter ratio of 2–2.5. The stress rate was applied within the limits of 0.5–1.0 MPa/s. The tests were performed at least five times for each sample and the average value was recorded as the uniaxial compressive strength.

Rock Mechanics

• Strength classification is based on strength of the rock (compressive strength & modulus of elasticity; Table 7.2) • 5 strength classes: A-E based on the overall rock strength; A = very strong, E = very weak (Table 7.3) • Any discontinuities, fractures, bedding planes, etc. will strongly influence overall strength of the rock.
