THE UNIAXIAL PROPERTIES OF MELBOURNE MUDSTONE
The strength and deformation properties of the Melbourne mudstone under uniaxial compression and Brazilian test conditions are examined for the range of weathering characteristics commonly encountered. The relevancy of these simply obtained properties to engineering design are considered with special reference to rock socketed piles. The resultant ratios of uniaxial compressive to tensile strength are examined to demonstrate that while the Brazilian test may provide a reasonable indirect estimation of uniaxial tensile strength for the slightly to moderately weathered mudstone, it may significantly underestimate the tensile strength of the more weathered mudstone. The number of the covering abstract of the congress is TRIS no. 385148. (Author/TRRL)
