Descriptions
Various geomechanical tests were conducted on the Remlinger Sandstone (REM), Bentheimer Sandstone (SBE25-GH), and Tromm Granite (TR) to determine their tensile strength, unconfined compressive strength, and triaxial compressive strength.
The following summary data for Remlinger Sandstone (REM), Bentheimer Sandstone (SBE25-GH), and Tromm Granite (TR) were collected:
Remlinger Sandstone (REM):
• 5 Brazilian Tensile Tests with a tensile strength of 5.71 MPa and a standard deviation of 0.33 MPa
• 3 Unconfined Compression Tests with an unconfined compressive strength of 78.65 MPa and a standard deviation of 5.52 MPa
Bentheimer Sandstone (SBE25-GH):
• 5 Brazilian Tensile Tests with a tensile strength of 2.98 MPa and a standard deviation of 0.43 MPa
• 2 Unconfined Compression Tests with an unconfined compressive strength of 29.86 MPa and a standard deviation of 0.09 MPa
Tromm Granite (TR):
• 2 Brazilian Tensile Tests with a tensile strength of 11.56 MPa and a standard deviation of 0.75 MPa
• 2 Unconfined Compression Tests with an unconfined compressive strength of 160.97 MPa and a standard deviation of 7.35 MPa
The data for the individual experiments, organized by rock type, are available as separate worksheets in the Excel files in the download section. A detailed description of the data structure is also provided there.
