The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of rock is an important geotechnical parameter for
engineering applications. However, how to determine the UCS simply and accurately has …

In this research, a series of artificial neural networks for the prediction of the unconfined
compressive strength of rock were trained and developed. A data and site independent …

Construction aggregates derived from primary resources either by crushing of sound rock
masses (crushed stone aggregates) or from naturally occurring unbound clastic sediments …

Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) is an important mechanical parameter for stability
assessments in rock mass engineering. In practice, obtaining the UCS simply, accurately …

In this study, we present a global database of ten parameters, which include measurements
of rock index properties, strength stiffness and dynamic properties. Hoek–Brown constant mi …

Aggregates are necessary materials for the construction industry. Owing to their favourable
properties, andesites are frequently used rock materials; hence, the investigation of their …

One of the main products of the mining industry is crushed stone, which is an essential
material in structure construction, such as concrete aggregate, asphalt aggregate in road …

Aggregate degradation (AD) is one of the major reasons accounting for failure of aggregate
materials, and the mechanical degradation of aggregate materials can be determined by …

Resistance to degradation is one of the most important aggregate properties for engineering
projects involving the use of aggregates. The Los Angeles abrasion loss (LAAL) test is …

Crushing is a size reduction process that plays a key role in both mineral processing and
crushing–screening plant design. Investigations on rock crushability have become an …
