Two samples of rock were subjected to diametral point load tests. The pressure gage readings at rupture were 1300 and 1600 psi. if the ram area was 1.96 in², and the diameter of the cores tested was 52 mm, calculate an estimate for the unconfined compressive strength in Mpa of each rock and say which of the rocks is stronger? (ignore a size correction.)

ANSWER PLEASE THANKS ASAP!
A parameter m in the Hoek-Brown criterion indicates how the type of rock affects the criterion's strength. It is anticipated that the rock will be stronger with a greater value of m. Using the values of m provided in the question and comparing the peak compressive strengths of granite, rhyolite, and marble with each other, qu = 100MPa For marble (m = 7): peak compressive strength =? For rhyolite (m =17): peak compressive strength =? For granite (m = 25): peak compressive strength =?

in a drained triangle test on consolidated clay the stress and angle area as follows deviator stress is 20 lb/ in ^2 and friction angle is 21 degree calculate the effective confining pressure at failure
Samples from sandstone were collected from two different depths (80m and 200m) and triaxial shearing tests were performed to estimate the shear strength parameters. From each depth, two different specimens were tests at distinct isotropic confining pressures and from the experiments the deviatoric stress at failure was assessed. The results from these experiments are summarized in Table 1.1. Table 1.1 – Results of triaxial shearing tests at failure for the sandstone samples collected from different depths (Question 1) Specimen No. q (MPa) at failure Collection оз (MPa) depth (m) 1 80 0.600 3.325 2 80 1.800 8.179 3 200 0.600 5.310 4 200 1.800 11.103 (a) Determine the angle of shear strength and cohesion of the sandstone for each of the two different depths using the Mohr-Coulomb (linear) failure criterion based on total stress principle.
