THE HVORSLEV SURFACE IN ROCK DEFORMATION

Triaxial compression tests were carried out on rock salt and marl specimens at confining pressures up to 42 mn 1/M sq. Volumetric strains were measured using a specially adapted triaxial cell. The results showed the brittle/ductile transition to be separate from the critical state and indicated the existence of a hvorslev surface, relating shear strength to normal stress and specific volume, between these two points. These results are further validated by comparison with those reported by other workers.(a) (TRRL)
