A survey of the physical properties of some carbonate rocks
Abstract Samples were taken from the Carboniferous Limestone, the Magnesian Limestone, the Inferior Oolitic Limestone and the Great Oolitic Limestone. Their specific gravities, dry and saturated densities were determined, as were their absolute and effective porosities. The densities decreased and porosities increased with decreasing age of the limestone concerned. The permeability of these samples increased as the porosity increased. Furthermore the strength decreased with increasing porosity, that is, the Carboniferous Limestone was very strong whereas the Great Oolitic Limestone was moderately weak. When saturated the strongest limestone showed the least percentage reduction in strength. The strongest limestone also possessed the highest values of hardness, the weakest having the lowest values. As far as Young's modulus was concerned it tended to increase as density, strength and hardness increased. The Carboniferous Limestone recorded the highest values of Young's modulus, the Great Oolitic Limestone the lowest. Poisson's ratio and related elastic properties were also determined.
