Loading rate conditions and specimen size effect on strength and deformability of rock materials under uniaxial compression
Abstract In this study, various rock and cementitious rock-like material specimens with same ratio of length to diameter and different sizes were tested under various deformation controlled loading rate (mm/min) and load controlled rate (kN/s) conditions. According to the results obtained from 93 specimens of 5 different types of rock material and 2 different rock-like materials (cement paste and a concrete mix including sand) tested in this study, uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) values were found to significantly decrease with an increase in the specimen size under the condition of a load controlled rate (kN/s) selection. To practically remove the size effect on UCS values, the uniaxial compression test is suggested to perform selecting the loading rate as strain controlled (s−1) and proportional to diameters of specimens with different sizes and same geometry. In addition to the UCS values, Modulus of elasticity values, stress and strain graph shapes and deformation characteristics were found to significantly change with the change of the specimen size and loading rate. According to the results, both modulus of elasticity values and brittleness were found to notably increase as a result of increase in loading rate values.
