Basalt physical properties such as compressive strength and density are directly linked to their chemistry and constitution; as weathering progresses, basalts gradually become weaker and transition from intact rock to saprolite and ultimately, to soil. Here we quantify the degree of weathering experienced by the Adirondack-class basalts at the Mars Exploration …

Estimating the Unconfined Compressive Strength of Vesicular Basalts …

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 …

Abstract To predict uniaxial compressive strength using the indirect techniques of the Schmidt hammer rebound number (N) and Point Load Index (PLI), it is required to have valid empirical equations based on rock types. This study is an attempt to address this issue by developing a model that is valid for various rock types. Three models, i.e. linear, power and …

The strength weakening only due to thermal damage does not appear in the samples deformed below 600. Ductile mechanisms inhibit the brittleness of the rock; (ii) a sharp fall of the compressive strength between 750 and 900 (430 MPa at 750, lO0 MPa at 900); (iii) a very low compressive strength (50 MPa) of the partially melted rock at 1000.

High-temperature behaviour of basalts—role of temperature …

Influence of Texture on Mechanical Behaviour of Basalts

3.3 Mechanical Behaviour. Uniaxial compressive strength.It was observed from Fig. 7 that vesicular basalts were failed much lower strengths than the rest of variants of basalt possibly because of a vesicular structure. Most of the samples failed along the periphery of vesicles, and propagation of failure is along the chain of vesicles (Fig. 8).In the case of …
