... of a structure in rock. Strength characteristics of rocks varies with their genetic nature and the variation in geo-mechanical properties is distinct in metamorphic rocks. This is primarily due to the strong anisotropy of such rocks. Accordingly, the strength and nature of the failure of such anisotropic rocks...

The result of these studies is a tool that allows creating 3D models of the rock mass stress-strain state, taking...

... Abstract We seek to define new empirical relations between the spectral signature of rock surfaces and their geomechanical characteristics. By this means, proxy tools can be developed to classify the quality of rock masses in situations where access is restricted or impossible. In rock...

... Abstract The dynamic mechanical behaviour and characteristics of rocks have been investigated using different techniques to evaluate the engineering structures under dynamic loads. The authors devised a new experimental apparatus to investigate the behaviour of rocks under shock waves. A new...
