Performance of Core Strangle Test (CST) on Porous Rocks ...

2018-4-19  The Core Strangle Test (CST) has been proposed in 2009 by author as an index test permitting indirect estimation of the Uniaxial Compressive Strength. In this test, load is applied through a circle perpendicular to the core axis as a strangle. The mentioned advantage of the experiment is the possibility of testing quite short rock cores on which the UCS experiment

Use of the core strangle test for determining strength ...

2014-2-1  The core strangle test ( Fig. 6) was intended by Yilmaz [21] as an index test for the strength classification of rock materials, and for determination of unconfined compressive strength. The test measures the Core Strangle Index (CSI) of rock samples in the form of core having a length of 25 mm or more, and rock samples are broken by the load ...

Determination of uniaxial compressive strength of ...

2013-11-1  The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of intact rock is an important mechanical parameter which is required for many engineering projects. In some engineering projects such as well drilling for petroleum production, due to the depth of the well, there are some limitations for obtaining rock core samples and determining the UCS.

An Equation to Evaluate the Unconfined Compressive ...

The unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of rock is a basic parameter for the design of foundations resting on rock. However, it is often very difficult to retrieve intact rock core specimens for the UCS test due to mechanical breaking or natural fracturing of the rock core during the drilling process. In such cases, it becomes obligatory to correlate UCS values based on the point load ...
