The following table provides a comprehensive list of compressive strength values for different rocks at standard room temperature (approximately 20°C or 68°F). Click on the icon to switch between SI (MPa) and US customary (psi) units.
Explore a curated list of compressive strength data for a wide range of materials including metals, rocks, wood, and more.
The Geological Strength Index (GSI), introduced by Hoek (1994) and Hoek, Kaiser and Bawden (1995) provides a system for estimating the reduction in rock mass strength for different geological conditions. This system is presented in Table 1.3, for blocky rock masses, and Table 1.4 for schistose metamorphic rocks.
Reliable estimates of the strength and deformation characteristics of rock masses are required for almost any form of analysis used for the design of slopes, foundations and underground …

The Geological Strength Index (GSI), introduced by Hoek (1994) and Hoek, Kaiser and Bawden (1995) provides a system for estimating the reduction in rock mass strength for different geological conditions. This system is presented in Table 1.3, for blocky rock masses, and Table 1.4 for schistose metamorphic rocks.
Strength values vary from 21.40 MPa to 175.00 MPa, and the dataset consists of rock from 12 different lithology (Table 1). ...
The rating for the rock strength depends on the unconfined compressive strengths of the rock as per this table. I remind you that the way to attend the UCS, or confined compressive strength was covered in topic four. ... The maximum rating here is 15 for rocks having a UCS in excess of 250 MPA and for rocks having an unconfined compressive ...

The maximum values obtained for the 12 measurements regarding the mechanical properties such as UCS, BTS, PLS and Schmidt hammer rebound number were 97.25 MPa, 11.34 MPa, 6.75 MPa and 51 ...
Rock Fracture and Rock Strength. Zong-Xian Zhang, in Rock Fracture and Blasting, 2016. 3.12.8 Rock Strength. Rock strength is useful in rock engineering, although it is not a material property. Two main reasons are: (1) strength is much easier to determine than fracture toughness; (2) the micro-scale failure mechanisms are similar for both strength and toughness tests.
