Knowledge of the strength and elastic modulus of a reservoir rock is important for the optimisation of a particular geothermal resource. The reservoir rock for many geothermal projects in the Upper Rhine Graben, such as those at Soultz-sous-Forêts and Rittershoffen (both France), is porphyritic granite. High fracture densities (up to ~ 30 ;fractures/m) in this reservoir …

Rock strength can be measured in a number of ways. Generally, the UCS (Unconfined Compressive Strength) is the most common type of assessment. Direct measurement is undertaken in a similar way to concrete cylinders i.e. a core of rock must be taken of the rock mass you are assessing. This requires a medium to large sized drilling rig capable of ...

As reported in Table 8, the average value of compressive strength (Rc) for the Camelio samples is 25.04 MPa, while samples from Porcari and Leone quarries show lower values which are similar to each other (Fig. 13), respectively 15.03 Mpa and 12.09 MPa. The difference between directions A and C was not evident, thus indicating a low anisotropy.
The Geological Strength Index (GSI), introduced by Hoek (1994) and Hoek, Kaiser and Bawden (1995) provides a system for estimating the reduction in rock mass strength for different geological conditions. This system is presented in Table 1.3, for blocky rock masses, and Table 1.4 for schistose metamorphic rocks.

constant at 3.45 MPa until failure occurred and peak stress was recorded. The confining pressure was then reduced to 0.69 MPa and staged testing continued, incrementally ascending to 27.6 MPa, and then descending back down to 0.69 MPa. The confinement stages for the ascending and descending traces in MPa were 0.69, 1.72, 3.45, 6.89,
This is expressed as: (1) P u = K σ c D b where K is the reaction force coefficient, K ≥ 1; σ c is the compressive strength of the host rock (MPa); D b is the diameter of the bolt (mm). An increase in the host rock strength, therefore, causes a greater reaction force of the bolt on the joint surface, and a greater peak shear strength.
