Evaluating Rock Brittleness Through a Novel Statistical Damage Theory-Based Index: A Case Study on Sandstones
Evaluating the brittleness of rocks or rock masses is a fundamental problem in geotechnical engineering. This study proposed a new index that expresses brittleness as the rate of damage development in rock. The brittleness index was derived from statistical damage theory. It depends on the four mate...
