Table of Contents

The present and future of rock testing: highlighting the ISRM suggested methods.- Laboratory testing: Suggested method for determination of the Schmidt Hammer rebound hardness: revised version.- Suggested methods for determining the dynamic strength parameters and mode-I fracture toughness of rock materials.- Suggested method for the determination of mode II fracture toughness.- Suggested method for reporting rock laboratory test data in electronic format.- Upgraded suggested method for determining sound velocity by ultrasonic pulse transmission technique.- Suggested method for determining the abrasivity of rock by the Cerchar Abrasivity test.- Suggested method for determining the mode I static fracture toughness using semi-circular bend specimen.- Suggested methods for determining the creep characteristics of rock.- Suggested method for laboratory determination of the shear strength of rock joints: revised version.- Suggested method for the needle penetration test.- Field testing: Suggested method for rock fractures observations using a borehole digital optical televiewer.- Suggested method for measuring rock mass displacement using a sliding micrometer.- Suggested method for step-rate injection method for fracture in-situ properties (SIMFIP): Using a 3-Components Borehole Deformation Sensor.- Suggested Methods for rock stress estimation— establishing a model for the in situ stress at a given Site.- Suggested method for monitoring rock displacements using the global positioning system (GPS).- Suggested methods for rock failure criteria: general introduction.- Introduction to suggested methods for failure criteria.- Mohr–Coulomb failure criterion.- The Hoek–Brown failure criterion.-Three-dimensional failure criteria based on the Hoek–Brown criterion.- Drucker-Prager criterion.- Lade and modified Lade 3D rock strength criteria.- A failure criterion for rocks based on true triaxial testing.- A survey of 3D laser scanning techniques for application to rock mechanics and rock engineering.
