Rock Mechanics Testing (GEOLAB)
-
Uniaxial & Triaxial Compression
Determination of rock strength and deformation properties under controlled conditions, providing critical inputs for mine design and numerical modeling.
-
Shear Strength
Evaluation of shear strength, cohesion, and failure angle to support slope stability, highwall recovery, and ground control planning.
-
Elastic & Physical Property Measurements
Comprehensive analysis of rock modulus, Poisson’s ratio, bulk density, porosity, and moisture content to establish reliable engineering parameters.
-
Durability & Weathering Tests
Assessment of long-term material performance through slake durability and related testing methods, ensuring stability and reliability over time.
-
Numerical Model Calibration Data
Generation of lab-based input parameters for two-dimensional and three-dimensional boundary element and finite element simulations, enabling accurate predictions of ground response and mine performance.
