Rock Mechanics Testing Equipment

Rock Mechanics Testing Equipment

Rock Mechanics is a branch of geotechnical engineering and includes the theoretical and applied sciences of the mechanical behaviour of rock and rock masses. Rock testing includes laboratory as well as field testing and allows for methods of computation and field observation of structural behavior. Slopes, tunneling, dams foundations and surface constructions requires the characterization of involved rocks and the analysis of their reaction to induced stresses.Read More...

It is common for Rock samples to be subjected to defined stress conditions in order to determine the stress-stran relationships. All these phenomena can be mathematically described and used for mechanical design simulations.

Rock samples require careful sample preparation from cores in order to fully analyze their properties. Sample machinery include coring machines, general masonry saws, core trimmers, rock specimen grinding machines as well as rock sample verification apparatus systems. Properties such as the roughess, strength and permeability can be further examined with the use of our diverse line of Rock Mechanic apparatus systems. Following precise sample preparation, rock samples can undergo Uniaxial and triaxial testing systems in order to identify the rock splitting and crushing properties.

Further tests are available for the testing of Rock samples which will allow for further analysis of the mechanical properties. Contact your NextGen representative today to further discuss how we can be your Quality Control solution.
