Estimating Unconfined Compressive Strength of Sedimentary Rocks in United Arab Emirates from Point Load Strength Index
In this paper, three rock types including Sandstone, Mudstone, and Crystalline Gypsum were part of a laboratory study conducted to develop a dataset for predicting the unconfined compressive strength of UAE intact sedimentary rock specimens. Four hundred nineteen rock samples from various areas along the coastal region of the UAE were collected and tested for the development of this dataset and...
متن کاملReliability assessment of Needle Penetration Index for estimating compressive strength of some sedimentary rocks from the Qom Formation, Central Iran
In this paper, the needle penetrometer test was utilized to explore the reliability of the Needle Penetration Index (NPI) for estimating the Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) of sedimentary rocks including gypsum, marl, siltstone and sandstone collected from the Qom Formation. Following the UCS and NP test, regression analyses were carried out to control the predictive performances of NPI. ...
متن کاملEstimating the unconfined compressive strength of carbonate rocks using gene expression programming
Conventionally, many researchers have used both regression and black box techniques to estimate the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of different rocks. The advantage of the regression approach is that it can be used to render a functional relationship between the predictive rock indices and its UCS. The advantage of the black box techniques is in rendering more accurate predictions. Gene ...
متن کاملCorrelation between Uniaxial Compressive Strength and Point Load Index for Salt-Range Rocks
Nine rock types including Sandstone, Limestone, Siltstone, Dolomite and Marl collected from six different rock formations of the Salt Range area of Pakistan were tested to evaluate the correlations between the uniaxial compressive strength and the corresponding values of the point load index. Two hundred rock cores were drilled and used for the uniaxial compressive strength and point load index...
متن کاملThe United Arab Emirates
A Unique Demographic Structure The United Arab Emirates (UAE) lies on the Arabian Gulf between Oman and Saudi Arabia. It consists of a union of seven Emirates, namely: Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Ra's Al-Khaymah, Al-Fujayrah, and Umm Al-Qaywayn (Fig. 11). The UAE has a cosmopolitan population of 3.7 million (estimates 2003) and exhibits a unique demographic structure as UAE nationals only...
