Multistage triaxial testing of various rock types: A case study of East Attica Prefecture, Greece

摘要

This paper presents the statistical processing of data obtained from multistage triaxial tests of selected rock types from East Attica Prefecture of Greece. Two strength models for the peak and residual strength were fitted to the experimental data, i.e., the Mohr - Coulomb criterion and the Hoek - Brown criterion. The derived strength parameters for these distinct states of stress are compared with findings of other researchers and their dramatic change during the residual state of the rock samples is discussed.
