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.
