Tn. Singh et al., EFFECT OF UNIAXIAL CYCLIC COMPRESSION ON THE MECHANICAL-BEHAVIOR OF ROCKS, INDIAN JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING AND MATERIALS SCIENCES, 1(2), 1994, pp. 118-120
This paper mainly deals the mechanical behaviour of Chunar sandstone u
nder cyclic loading. Compressive strength decreases as the number of c
ycles increases from 90.62% at 100 cycles to 65.50% at 600 cycles. Res
ults indicate that rocks are significantly weakened by cyclic loading.
