Determination of mode I (Kic)fracture toughness of the brittle rock types encountered in the South African mining environment.

A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Engineering,
University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in
fulfilment of the requirements
for the Degree of the Master of Science / Drilled specimens from four types of rocks, namely
Quartzite, Norite, Sandstone and Coal encountered in the
South African mining environment were tested to determine
their fracture toughness coefficients, using
International Society for Rock Mechanics (I...)
standards.
The tests were conducted using a MTS servo-controlled
testing machine in displacement control mode. (Abbreviation abstract) / Andrew Chakane 2018
