Experimental studies of scale effects on shear strength, and deformation of rock joints [PDF]
, 1980 The effect of scale on shear strength is studied by performing direct shear tests on different sized samples of large joints. A rubber moulding system is used to obtain impressions of the roughness from a variety of natural joint surfaces.

Point load tests and strength measurements for brittle spheres
International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences, 2009 A multiaxial failure criterion for brittle materials is applied to a stress field analysis of a perfectly elastic sphere subjected to diametrically opposite normal forces that are uniformly distributed across small areas on the sphere's surface. Expressions are obtained for an intrinsic strength parameter of the material, as well as its unconfined ...

Punching shear strength of steel fibre reinforced lightweight concrete slabs. [PDF]
, 1981 One of the problems in slab-column connections is the punching shear failure at over loads. Such failures are sudden and catastrophic, and are undesirable since they do not allow an overall yield mechanism to ...
