ASTM D7012 Standard Test Methods for Compressive Strength and Elastic Moduli of Intact Rock Core Specimens under Varying States of Stress and Temperatures -- eLearning Course
About this Course
This course covers the determination of the strength of intact rock core specimens in uniaxial and triaxial compression. Methods A and B determine the triaxial compressive strength at different pressures and Methods C and D determine the unconfined, uniaxial strength.
This course includes downloadable resources including a procedural outline and a pdf of the standard, instructional video content, interactive knowledge checks, and a self-grading quiz. The course can be completed in about one hour.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Identify apparatus and the methods for which they are used when determining the strength of intact rock core specimens in uniaxial and triaxial compression.
- Define safety precautions as outlined for ASTM D7012.
- Recognize steps for test specimen selection and preparation.
- Recall procedures for determination of the strength of intact rock core specimens in uniaxial and triaxial compression, including those for confining stress.
