I am looking to invest in some hardness index testing equipment for rock. I have used Schmidt hammers, getting a UCS from the Hoek calibration curves to estimate the Uni-axial Compressive Strength. However, I have now seen Leeb hardness testers being used, but I have no experience with them. I...
Hello all.
I have recently read a report where someone has conducted a slope stability assessment using the rocscience SLIDE software. For this analysis, they defined the material using mohr-coulomb c=40kPa, phi = 25deg which was derived from CU triaxial tests. This test type represents a...
