Tunnel excavation, road construction, open pit, and underground mines are associated with rock volumes. Determining the effective parameters of rock mechanics in these projects will play a key role in their proper design. Since field and in situ tests are not always feasible and costly; it is, therefore, advisable to use laboratory tests to identify rock properties.
Laboratory Research Activities
- Evaluating the resistance of different rocks under dry, saturated and natural conditions
- Investigating the anisotropy index of different rocks from different origin
- Determining the shear strength of rocks under different vertical stress conditions
- Determining the resistance indices of rocks with different dimensions and their relationship with each other
- Studying the physical properties of rocks
- Measuring the indirect tensile strength (Brazilian test)
- Measurement the uniaxial and triaxial compressive strength
- Measuring the durability of rocks
- Measuring the surface roughness of joints
- Measuring the properties of rock indices and sample preparation
- Measuring the point load of rocks
- Measuring the longitudinal and transverse velocity of rock and concrete
