The Schmidt Hammer, originally designed for testing the hardness of concrete in 1948, was
first used in a geomorphological context in the 1960s. Since then the advantages and …

Uniaxial Compressive Strength (UCS) and modulus of elasticity (E) are the most important
rock parameters required and determined for rock mechanical studies in most civil and …

Numerical model simulations and experiments have suggested that when migration of the
main drainage divide occurs in a mountain belt, it can lead to the rearrangement of river …

Rocks are natural geo-materials, whose properties are affected by many spatially-varying
factors, such as the properties of their parent materials, weathering processes, and …

Engineers and researchers need to estimate the mechanical properties of rocks from P-
wave velocity. In previous studies, the researchers have investigated either the limited …

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

Different carbonate rock classes of various origins (namely sedimentary limestones,
diagenetic dolomitic limestones, travertines, and metamorphic marbles) have been exposed …

The rock mass classification system is utilized to categorize rocks, and has been used in
engineering projects and stability investigations. It focuses on the parameters of rock mass …

The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of intact rocks is an important and pertinent
