    Rock strength characterization using measurement while drilling technique
    (Springer, 2020) Lakshminarayana, C.R.; Tripathi, A.K.; Pal, S.K.
    The approximation of strength properties of rocks most often requires during the preliminary phase of any engineering projects related to rock mechanics. The main disadvantage of evaluating the rock properties in a testing laboratory is the prerequisite for high-quality rock core with many numbers. In this empirical method, the essential strength properties of rocks would measure during the rock drilling process using some identified machine variables along with the acoustic parameter. The machine operating variables such as thrust and torque and acoustic vibration parameter collecting at the machine head were used to develop rock strength models. A drill-type dynamometer was employed to gauge the machine variables and the NI-9234 data acquisition system for gauging the vibration parameter. The evaluation of the mathematical models for their efficiency shows that the applied empirical approach could determine the strength properties with fewer errors and can use as an alternative method for measuring the compressive and tensile strength of sedimentary rocks in the laboratory without using core samples. © 2020, Indian Geotechnical Society.

    Prediction of the specific energy requirement of hydraulic rock breaker based on laboratory impact hammer – a case study
    (Inderscience Publishers, 2024) Pal, S.K.; Akhil, A.; Vyas, A.; Tripathi, A.K.
    The present study was conducted in a limestone mine at central Rajasthan, India for correlating the impact energy of hydraulic rock breaker with laboratory size gravitational impact rock breaker. Data generation and results were obtained mainly to correlate the specific impact energy required by the hydraulic rock breaker field (IEF) in kJ/m3 for breaking boulders in the field versus the specific impact energy required by the gravitational impact rock breaker laboratory (IEL) in kJ/m3. Laboratory investigation values for Schmidt rebound number (RN) is between 27 to 44; UCS (σc) between 96.27 to 132.25 MPa; tensile strength (σt) between 9.14 to 14.66 MPa; and point load strength (Is50) between 8.95 to 12.65 MPa. In the present research, an attempt is made to study impact energy utilised by hydraulic rock breaker in the field and comparison of specific energy requirements based on a laboratory-size impact hammer. © 2024 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
