Compressive–tensile rock markings

Abstract: A form of natural rock marking is described from a site on the coast of Fujian in China. Having been defined as rock art, it has now been found to be natural, caused by the release of massive kinetic energy in collisions between large blocks of granite. A combination of compressive and tensile stresses has yielded geometric changes to the fabric of the rock, and the selective weathering of modified parts of the rock has produced visually distinct, large surface markings resembling a rising Sun. The processes i… Show more

“…The foundation of the model presented herein is the rock fracturing theory [22], which provides constitutive relationships between rock and explosive properties for estimating the length and density of blast-induced fractures. The tensile nature of radial fractures is investigated numerically [23] and in practical identification [24]. The length of radial tension fractures that fall in a specific density zone is calculated according to the following relationship [22]: For a blasthole with radius r h = 0.051 m and pressure in granite with a tensile strength of σ t = 14 MPa and Poisson's ratio ν = 0.25, the cracking zones are as presented in Figure 2.…”
