Strength and Deformation Properties of Belt Strata, Coeur d'Alene Mining District, ID

J. K. Whyatt / B. G. White / J. C. Johnson / F. E. Kirschner

Estimates of strength and deformation were developed by researchers from the U.S. Bureau of Mines for three major types of rock (Vitreous quartzite, sericitic quartzite, and siltite-argillite) in the Coeur d'Alene Mining District of northern Idaho. In the course of developing these estimates, it was found that the anisotropy of the rocks varied with sericite content. An extensive database that included laboratory tests, in situ tests, calibrated numerical models, and rock mass ratings was constructed to support development of the estimates.
