Predicting mechanical properties of mudrock from index parameters
Abstract. Despite the importance of mudrock in engineering projects, in comparison with other sedimentary rocks there is little information available on the mechanical properties of these materials. Probably one of the main reasons for this lack of data is that on a practical basis, mudrocks can easily be disturbed by normal drilling techniques and are frequently difficult to sample, store, characterize and test. A number of tests were carried out and a considerable amount of data collected from the literature to investigate the mechanical properties of different types of mudrocks. Reasonably good correlations were found between some index parameters and mechanical properties and various regression equations are proposed for predicting mechanical properties. In view of the closeness of these correlations and the fact that the index parameters of mudrocks are relatively simple to determine, the correlations provide an indirect, but very convenient means of estimating the mechanical properties. It is suggested that in some circumstances their use may reduce testing requirements.
