Sometimes engineers need to estimate the wet-rock P-wave velocity from the dry-rock P-
wave velocity. An estimation equation embracing all rock classes will be useful for the rock …

Engineers and researchers need to estimate the mechanical properties of rocks from P-
wave velocity. In previous studies, the researchers have investigated either the limited …

The aim of this study is to investigate the predictability of the uniaxial compressive strength
(UCS) of cemented paste backfill (CPB) prepared from three different tailings (Tailings T1 …

This paper reviews the use of ultrasonic testing as a non-destructive tool for the investigation
of stone and the evaluation of conservation treatments. Various investigation techniques and …

Regressive analysis was used to determine empirical correlations between the velocity of an
elastic P-wave (compressional pulse) and a number of physical, strength, and deformation …

Engineering properties of building stones can vary because of degradation by weathering
agents. Thermal fluctuation is one of the most important agents on deteriorations such as …

The experimental work described in this paper was carried out in order to discover about the
effects of petrographic characteristics on the ultrasonic pulse velocity and dynamic elastic …

In this paper, laboratory investigations were conducted on 22 carbonate building stones
(including 3 types of limestone, 12 types of travertine and 7 types of marble) from various …

Cement paste backfill (CPB) is an effective waste management method allowing the storage
of fine process tailings into underground mined-out voids. CPB performance generally …

In northern Pakistan, areas proximate to regional faults ie Main Mantle Thrust (MMT) and
Main Karakoram Thrust (MKT) show high deformation in hard rock masses. Analysis of …
