Correlations of parameters of selected rock types based on laboratory tests
Závacký, Martin ; Lahuta, Hynek (referee) ; Durmeková,, Tatiana (referee) ; Horák, Vladislav (advisor)
The dissertation thesis deals with the properties of hard rocks important for designing geotechnical structures, such as strength and deformation characteristics, as well as rock failure criteria. This work examines the possibility of using correlation relations to estimate the strength characteristics of rocks from index tests, which can make the rock testing process more efficient. The author described selected laboratory tests of rocks and identified several limitations of the tests procedures based on his own practical experience. The correlation analysis of an extensive data set and the derivation of regression relations for selected dependencies were performed. Furthermore, the rock strength estimation quality of the newly derived regressions was compared with the already published regressions. The analysis shows that the achieved degree of correlation is not sufficient to generalize the examined regressions. A significant reason of the low degree of correlation is the combination of the variability of rock properties and limitations of practical testing procedures. Thus, focus should be paid on calibration of the regression relationships within smaller areas in order to precisely estimate the rock properties as reliable input to the geotechnical design.
