Experimental study on the impact of perpendicular and parallel bedding planes on the physical and geomechanical characteristics of carbonate rocks by Ahmed K. Abd El-Aal, Ahmed E. Radwan, Jabir Hussain, Mahrous A. M. Ali

“…High-strength rocks were identified from the uniaxial unconfined compressive strength (UCS), tensile strength (t), point-load strength (IS50), and Schmidt hammer rebound (SHR) values. Regression analysis was used to derive various correlations between the acoustic and geomechanical properties, and these associations were interpreted in light of the microfacies and diagenetic processes. …”
