ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: A unique laboratory true triaxial rock testing system has been designed and developed for testing 80 mm cubic rock specimens at high values of principal stress and pore pressure, while simultaneously measuring P and S (polarized in two directions) velocities, electrical resistivity and fluid permeability, and static stress-strain measurements in each of the principal stress directions, with high pore fluid pressures, continuous acoustic emission monitoring and a maximum temperature of 200°C.
