    This document discusses rock properties for triaxial strength testing. The testing has a length to diameter ratio of 2.0 to 3.0 and maintains a constant confining stress (σ3) for each test. The purpose is to determine the Mohr-Coulomb or Hoek-Brown failure criteria and obtain values for the rock's cohesion and friction angle.
