Influence of Pore Water Pressure on the Engineering Properties of Rock

Abstract

Five series of unconfined compression tests were performed on intact samples of Barre Granite, Berea Sandstone, Clinch Sandstone, Nevada Tuff and Yule Marble, with strain rates varying from 0.0001 inch/inch/min. to 10/0 inch/ inch/min. In each series tests were performed on dry and saturated specimens. The test results are summarized and correlations were presented between unconfined compression strength and strain rate.
