ABSTRACT
This paper presents the static and dynamic tensile and compression test results of Laurentian and Stanstead granites as a function of specimen diameter and loading rate. The static tests were conducted using 19 mm, 25 mm, 32 mm, 40 mm, 56 mm and 75 mm diameter specimens. The dynamic tensile and compression tests were conducted using 19 mm, 25 mm, 32 mm, 40 mm, and 56 mm diameter specimens, whereas the dynamic compression tests were conducted using 19 mm and 25 mm diameter specimens.
