Laboratory of Rock Mechanics

Laboratory of Rock Mechanics

Laboratoř mechaniky hornin

The laboratory deals with determining the physical and mechanical properties of rocks. This includes assessing bulk and specific density, porosity, permeability, and strength through various tests such as unconfined compression test (UCS), tensile strength test (Brazilian test), fracture toughness test, triaxial test, and shear strength test. Additionally, we determine the static and dynamic moduli of rocks and measure the anisotropy of rocks under different pressures. These evaluations are conducted using the instruments listed in the "services" section.
