Descriptions
The dataset contains triaxial compressive strength data of salt samples collected from the Northwich Halite Member at the Winsford Mine in Cheshire, UK. Each sample was subjected to varying strain or displacement-equivalent rates under conventional triaxial stress conditions to evaluate its mechanical response to different loading conditions. The experiments were conducted over two testing campaigns between July 2022 and August 2023, using a servo-controlled stiff load frame in the Rock Mechanics and Physics Laboratory at the British Geological Survey, Keyworth, UK. The dataset is organized into individual Microsoft Excel files, each corresponding to a single test and containing parameters such as time, force, stress, displacement, and strain. A summary file detailing sample characteristics and test conditions is also included.
