Specimens of Lake Shore Tuff and Porphyry, Nundydroog Amphibolite, Kerr Addison Green Carbonate Breccia, and McIntyre Carbonated Lava have been ruptured under compression, tension, torsion and direct shear. The results were graphically plotted according to Mohr's strength theory, and the constructed angles of failure compared with the experimental measured angles. According to Mohr, the strength of the rock is a function of sliding friction, but the graphical and experimental results indicate rather that sliding friction and interlocking govern rock failure.
