Abstract: |
Conventional triaxial compression test. Basic principles and terminology. The triaxial cell. Specimen preparation and surface encapsulation. Measurements and test control. The three types of triaxial tests. Stress–strain diagrams. True triaxial compression test. Rock behavior under different loading conditions: Behavior under hydrostatic compression. Behavior under deviatoric loading. Influence of confining pressure. Transition from brittle to ductile behavior. Influence of the intermediate principal stress. Rock strength envelope. Failure theories and criteria. The linear Mohr–Coulomb criterion. The empirical Hoek–Brown criterion. Determination of intact rock strength parameters. Includes laboratory applications.
