TLDR
In this paper, the authors applied a correlation analysis in conjunction with multivariate statistical techniques to petrographical and laboratory geomechanical data for the investigation of correlations that exist between these properties of a selected sandstone, and to suggest inexpensive predictive models in a preliminary investigation.

Correlation of mineralogical and textural characteristics with engineering properties of selected granitic rocks from Turkey

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied correlation analysis to investigate the relationships between petrographical and engineering properties of granitic rocks, and found that the influence of the textural characteristics on the engineering properties appears to be more important than the mineralogy.

Prediction of uniaxial compressive strength of sandstones using petrography-based models

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship between strength and petrographical properties of sandstones, to construct a database as large as possible, to perform a logical parameter selection routine, and to develop a general prediction model for the uniaxial compressive strength.

Estimation of rock modulus: For intact rocks with an artificial neural network and for rock masses with a new empirical equation

TL;DR: In this article, the elastic modulus of intact rock is used for many rock engineering projects, such as tunnels, slopes, and foundations, but due to the requirements of high-quality core samples and associated sophisticated test equipment, instead the use of empirical models to obtain this parameter has been an attractive research topic.

A fuzzy model to predict the uniaxial compressive strength and the modulus of elasticity of a problematic rock

TL;DR: Some predictive models using regression analysis and fuzzy inference system have been developed for the greywackes cropping out in the city of Ankara and its close vicinity and it is revealed that the prediction performances of the fuzzy model are higher than those of multiple regression equations.

A fuzzy triangular chart to predict the uniaxial compressive strength of the Ankara agglomerates from their petrographic composition

TL;DR: In this article, a fuzzy triangular chart for the prediction of uniaxial compressive strength of the Ankara agglomerates from their petrographical composition is suggested.

Statistics and data analysis in geology

John C. Davis
TL;DR: In this article, a thoroughly revised edition presents important methods in the quantitative analysis of geologic data, such as probability, nonparametric statistics, and Fourier analysis, as well as data analysis methods such as the semivariogram and the process of kriging.

A New Roundness Scale for Sedimentary Particles

TL;DR: A new roundness scale is proposed defined by six roundness classes, defined by two sets of clay models prepared to characterize each roundness class and photographed to determine the roundness of a particle by comparison.

Engineering classification and index properties for intact rock

D. U. Deere, +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a system of engineering classification is proposed in which rocks are classified on the basis of their strength and modulus properties either obtained directly from laboratory tests, or approximately from index properties recommended herein.
