EVALUATION OF SHEAR STRENGTH PARAMETERS OF SHALE AND SILTSTONE USING SINGLE POINT CUTTER TESTS

Detournay and Tan (2002) performed experiments with a rock cutting device to measure the load required to fail the rock under confining stress. They proposed models describing the correlation between the specific energy and confining stress for shear dilatant rocks as a function of unconfined specif...
