Geomechanical Data for Remlinger Sandstone (REM), Bentheimer Sandstone (SBE25-GH), and Tromm Granite (TR)

Description: Various geomechanical tests were conducted on the Remlinger Sandstone (REM), Bentheimer Sandstone (SBE25-GH), and Tromm Granite (TR) to determine their tensile strength, unconfined compressive strength, and triaxial compressive strength. The following summary data for Remlinger Sandstone (REM), Bentheimer Sandstone (SBE25-GH), and Tromm Granite (TR) were collected: Remlinger Sandstone (REM): • 5 Brazilian Tensile Tests with a tensile strength of 5.71 MPa and a standard deviation of 0.33 MPa • 3 Unconfined Compression Tests with an unconfined compressive strength of 78.65 MPa and a standard deviation of 5.52 MPa Bentheimer Sandstone (SBE25-GH): • 5 Brazilian Tensile Tests with a tensile strength of 2.98 MPa and a standard deviation of 0.43 MPa • 2 Unconfined Compression Tests with an unconfined compressive strength of 29.86 MPa and a standard deviation of 0.09 MPa Tromm Granite (TR): • 2 Brazilian Tensile Tests with a tensile strength of 11.56 MPa and a standard deviation of 0.75 MPa • 2 Unconfined Compression Tests with an unconfined compressive strength of 160.97 MPa and a standard deviation of 7.35 MPa The data for the individual experiments, organized by rock type, are available as separate worksheets in the Excel files in the download section. A detailed description of the data structure is also provided there.
