ABSTRACT

In this chapter, the procedures of rock tests are described according to the Standard for Engineering Rock Mass Determination Methods GB/T 50266-2013. Combining with the industrial standards, e.g., highways and water conservancy, we have made revisions for some key steps of rock tests. The preparation and specific requirements of rock specimens are unified and standardized in Sections 7.1 and 7.2. The overviews of the test procedures are provided in the form of flowcharts.
