Geotechnical investigation and testing — Laboratory testing of rock — Part 5: Determination of the rock abrasiveness through test with a rotating tool

Scope

For carrying out a project in rock, various properties of the rock mass – such as mechanical, hydrological, geometry and discontinuities patterns – must be determined. It is particularly important to define the abrasiveness of a rock through standardized laboratory test as this property will strongly influence the project’s cost-effectiveness due to equipment wear.
