Using the Finite Discrete Element Method (FDEM) to Correlate Simulated Microfractures to Acoustic Emissions in Brittle Anisotropic Rock
… AE are recorded during Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) tests on foliated metasedimentary rock from the Bathurst Mining Camp, New Brunswick, Canada, as well as Brazilian Tensile Strength (BTS) tests on three granitic rocks from the Pointe du Bois Pluton, Manitoba, Canada. The same …

Stress Estimation From Borehole Scans For Prediction Of Excavation Overbreak In Brittle Rock
… scale intact core testing. Testing comprised Brazilian tensile strength and unconfined compressive strength testing, which involved the characterization of crack accumulation in both cases. From two pilot holes, acoustic televiewer surveys were completed to characterize the occurrence and …

Geomechanical Stability Analysis for Co2 Sequestration in Carbonate Formation
… permeability tests, uniaxial and triaxial tests, Brazilian tensile strength tests, poroelasticity tests, point load tests, and fracture toughness tests, etc, were conducted on Indiana limestone and Pierre shale to investigate the effects of CO2 sequestration on storage rock and caprock. Numerical …

Enhanced Laboratory Testing and Characterization Related to the Mechanics of Anisotropic Rock
… a high degree of accuracy and repeatability. Tensile strength is commonly measured via the indirect tensile strength test, intact elastic components and compressive strength are measured via the unconfined compressive strength test, and joint deformation is measured via the direct shear test. …
