Correlations between the physical and mechanical properties of sandstones with changes of water content and loading rates

Understanding the mechanical properties of rocks is crucial not only for academic research but also for various industrial applications. Many physical properties of rocks can affect their mechanical properties. Thus, understanding the correlations between the physical and mechanical properties of ro...

Summary:Understanding the mechanical properties of rocks is crucial not only for academic research but also for various industrial applications. Many physical properties of rocks can affect their mechanical properties. Thus, understanding the correlations between the physical and mechanical properties of rocks is important for comprehending the rock mechanics, especially for industrial purposes. Here, Kim et al examine the water content of rocks affects their mechanical properties because the input energy used for rock disruption and fragmentation changes with its water content.
