The Splitting Tensile Strength of Intact Rock Core Specimens (Brazilian Test). Similar to concrete (C496), it involves splitting a core to induce indirect tension. The engineering challenge is the Stiffness of the rock; specimens are extremely hard and fail violently. MTO’s rock-testing frames are Ultra-Stiff to minimize stored elastic energy, and they include high-debris shielding. This is a primary test for mining and civil engineering firms to determine the in-situ strength of bedrock for tunnel and foundation design.
