The strength of a rock is influenced by factors such as rock type, temperature, and time, while the age of rock does not significantly impact its strength. Therefore, age is the correct answer to the question. Understanding the characteristics of various rock types is essential in geoscience.

The influences of displacing angle, joint gap, and rock strength to the performance of rebar bolts and D-Bolts are evaluated in this study. A new method was developed to apply pull and shear loads to the bolt specimen in any combination so that a displacing angle can be established in the range from 0 (pure pull) to 90° (pure shear). In the tests, five displacing …

jointed rock masses, three 'properties' of the rock mass have to be estimated. These are: ξ uniaxial compressive strength of the intact rock pieces, ξ value of the Hoek-Brown constant for these intact rock pieces, and ξ value of the Geological Strength Index GSI for the rock mass.

The mechanical properties of rock masses are largely affected by water. A small change of the water content could lead to significant changes in the strength and deformability of rocks, which are responsible for many rock engineering hazards, e.g., landslides usually occur after heavy rains (Iverson 2000), and groundwater inrush may lead to karst collapse (Bai et al. …

Soil-rock mixtures in fault fracture zones are composed of rock blocks with high strength and fault mud with low strength. In this paper, in order to study the mechanical properties of the soil-rock mixture with non-cohesive matrix, a large-scale laboratory triaxial compression test with a specimen size of 500 mm×1000 mm is conducted, combined with numerical simulation …

Selby's approach allows QUANTIFICATION of these factors so that the strength of a rock can be measured. 1. Strength of intact rock (20%) - depends mainly on mineral composition and rock structure. Granite, for example, is mainly hard feldspar and quartz grains which interlock, making for a relatively strong rock. Shale is mainly soft clay ...

The rock type influences the strength of the rock as different types of rocks have different strengths. Temperature affects the strength of a rock as it can cause thermal expansion and contraction that can lead to cracking or breaking. Pressure can also affect the strength of a rock as high pressure can compress the rock, making it stronger.

Rock strength is specified in terms of tensile strength, compressive strength, shear strength, and impact strength. In the context of fracture gradient, only the tensile strength of rock is of importance. The tensile strength of rock is defined as the pulling force, required to rupture a rock sample, divided by the sample's cross-sectional area.
