Estimation of in situ viscoelastic parameters of weak floor strata by plate-loading tests

The three stages of stress relaxation - Observations for the time-dependent behaviour of brittle rocks based on laboratory testing

“…Wawersik, 1972;Rutter et al 1978;Chen and Chugh, 1996;Boukharov et al 1995;Brantut et al 2013;Ghaboussi and Gioda 1977;Malan, 2002;Schubert et al 2003;Barla et al 2010). Time-dependent behaviour of rock masses have also been studied for landslides (Bizjak and Zupanic, 2007) and forms an important aspect of the predicted and observed movement of many landslides (Groneng et al 2010).…”

“…the load-bearing capacity may be obtained from results of underground or laboratory measurements using special devices [11,[19][20][21][22][23], or utilising empirical, analytical or numerical analysis [9,14,17,[24][25][26][27]. currently, in Polish coal mines, such underground measurements are no longer conducted and load-bearing capacity is often assessed using empirical and analytical dependencies developed for soils.…”
