Mechanical, thermal, and fluid transport properties of rock at depth
Abstract
Laboratory test data can be vital to understanding rock behavior under some set of mechanical-thermal-hydrologic-chemical conditions but in themselves cannot be directly substituted for field results. The purpose of this contribution is threefold: (1) to briefly identify those laboratory measurements which have been conducted in the past which are of use to predictive modeling of underground rock behavior; (2) to point out those types of laboratory tests which are desirable and are technologically feasible; and (3) to make recommendations for future research in coupled thermal, mechanical, and hydrologic laboratory testing.
