  Damage assessment of basaltic rock mass due to repeated …

  200931 · The rock mass quality (Q) was determined as 12.5 and 3 for compact basalt and amygdaloidal basalt, respectively. The average intact rock properties of the basalt at two different experimental locations are given in Table 1. Download : Download full-size image; Fig. 5.

  STRENGTH PROPERTIES OF ROCKS AND ROCK MASSES

  2006319 · According to equation (17) the strength ratio Fc/Ft (or Co/To) depends on the value of m only. For limestone m=5.4 and Co/To=5.6; for granite m=29.2 and Co/To=29.2; for sandstone m=14.3 and Co/To=14.3. The Hoek and Brown criterion for intact rock can also be expressed in terms of normal and shear stresses as follows.

  Mojave Mars simulant—Characterization of a new

  2008101 · The sand, however, is available in large quantities to outside consumers (like ourselves). Also available in large quantities are unprocessed whole rock and fine basaltic dust, a by-product of the rock crushing process. During crushing, the airborne dust is collected via a large vacuum system to comply with air quality regulations.

  Railway ballast material selection and evaluation: A review

  2022815 · The table shows that the crushing resistance of limestone does not meet the requirements of the current Chinese specification TB/T2140-2008 [48] for first-grade or special class ballast, and is not qualified to be the parent rock for railway ballast. The special class ballast is the highest quality ballast.

  A Large Lunar Surface Testbed from Low Cost Material

  2014317 · An alternative is to build test facilities locally. This has been done many ways, contrast GRC-1, GSC-1, BP-1 and the KSC Morpheus facility [1-4]. GRC-1 is a mixture of sand and clay; GSC-1 and BP-1 are waste materials created in the process of crushing basaltic rock. The Morpheus field used salvaged concrete and crushed quartz rock [5].
