Rock quality designation (RQD) was introduced by Don in the mid-1960s as a means of using diamond core to classify rock for engineering purposes. Subsequently, it was incorporated into the rock mass rating (RMR) and Q-system classification methods that, worldwide, now play substantial roles in rock mechanics design, whether for tunnels, …

• 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.
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. This research focuses on correlations both UCS and Et with Leeb Rebound Hardness Test (LRH). In the …

5.2 Method C, uniaxial compressive strength of rock is used in many design formulas and is sometimes used as an index property to select the appropriate excavation technique. Deformation and strength of rock are known to be functions of confining pressure. Method A, triaxial compression test, is commonly used to simulate the stress conditions under which …
ABSTRACT. ABSTRACT: Understanding and predicting the intact strength of rock is very important in design of foundations, tunnels, and in other engineering projects. The presence of vesicles within basalt has a direct impact on the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of the intact rock. Over 130 basalt samples from foundation projects for a large liquid …

rock strength to parameters measurable with geophys-ical well logs. The use of such relations is often the only way to estimate strength in many situations due to the absence of cores for laboratory tests. The basis for these relations is the fact that many of the same factors that affect rock strength also affect other physical properties
