The use of three artificial neural network (ANN)-based models for the prediction of
unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of granite using three non-destructive test …

The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) is one of the most important parameters for
judging the mechanical behaviour of rock mass in rock engineering design and excavation …

Due to the rapid industrialization and the development of the economy in each country, the
demand for energy is increasing rapidly. The coal mines have to pace up the mining …

To accurately estimate the rock shear strength parameters of cohesion (C) and friction angle
(φ), triaxial tests must be carried out at different stress levels so that a failure envelope can …

The index mechanical properties, strength, and stiffness parameters of rock materials (ie,
uniaxial compressive strength, c, ϕ, E, and G) are critical factors in the proper geotechnical …

To design the tunnel excavations, the most important parameters are the engineering
properties of rock, eg, Young's modulus (E) and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) …

The durability of rocks is a substantial rock property that has to be considered for designing
geotechnical structures. Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and Young's modulus (E) are …

Blasting is the cheapest and most common method of rock excavation. The basic purpose of
blasting is to breakage and displacement of rock mass and, on the other hand, it has some …

The geomechanical properties of rock, including shear strength (SS) and uniaxial
compressive strength (UCS), are very important parameters in designing rock structures. To …

In the field of rock engineering, uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) is a crucial mechanical
parameter that cannot be ignored. Due to the difficulty in obtaining high-quality rock core …
