Description
| Summary: | Plate-load tests were conducted underground on rock to determine in situ strength and deformation properties. The plate-load test provides information on the rock mass properties as opposed to the strength of the rock substance. When a plate is placed on the surface of the material to be tested and the contact pressure increased, the plate deflects as the material deforms, and shear failure of the material ultimately occurs
