Rock Mechanics Properties of Typical Foundation Rock Types. Summarizing Physical and Mechanical Tests of Rock Samples from Several Types of Foundation Sites,

摘要

Tests of physical and mechanical properties of representative rock core samples from several project foundation sites are summarized in rock data sheets. The summary includes location and geologic occurrence and a petrographic description of the rock types. Properties listed include:absorption;specific gravity;secant elastic modulus;compressive strength;tensile strength;and shear strength,including cohesion and coefficient of angle of internal friction. The work covers 43typical rock types from sites of dams,powerplants,tunnels,and other Bureau structures.
