Abstract
  Creating holes in rocks using different methods presents various challenges. In this research, an attempt was made to investigate these characteristics and the existing problems in creating holes based on the texture and brittleness of the rock. For this purpose, several core specimens were taken from ...  Read More

H. R. Nejati; Seyed A. Moosavi

Volume 8, Issue 1 , January 2017, , Pages 83-91

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2016.579

Abstract
  Assessment of the correlation between rock brittleness and rock fracture toughness has been the subject of extensive research works in the recent years. Unfortunately, the brittleness measurement methods have not yet been standardized, and rock fracture toughness cannot be estimated satisfactorily by ...  Read More
