compressive strength and deformation rule, outofplane buckling criterions, shock absorption characteristics and vibration transmissibility, energy absorption diagrams were researched by Guo, Lu, Wang et al [1215]. The corrugated sandwich structure with a series of connected arch cells holds favorable compressive loading capability and package cushioning properties for shock .
wet, the strength tests ( compressive strength, flexural strength, modulus of rupture) are sometimes performed using wet stone specimens. For the dry condition, the stone specimens are dried in an oven at 60°C ±2°C (140°F ±2°F) for at least 48 hours or until the weight does not change with additional drying. For the wet condition, the stone specimens are soaked in water at .
compressive strengths, while in normalstrength concretes, coarse aggregate strength has little effect on compressive strength. Other research has compared the effects of limestone and basalt on the compressive strength of highstrength concrete (Giaccio, Rocco, Violini, Zappitelli, and Zerbino 1992). In concretes containing basalt, load induced cracks developed primarily at the .

masonry or compressive strength [2]. Rebound hardness measurements are affected by a number of variables, including surface roughness, specimen mass and geometry, vicinity of nearby edges, and hammer orientation. A methodology for conducting rebound hardness tests is provided by RILEM, Determination of masonry rebound hardness. The approach is essentially .

compressive strength is then defined as the maximum load applied to crush the specimen divided by the crosssectional area. Rock strength has been found to be size dependent because of the cracks and fissures that are often present in the material. This is illustrated from the results of tests on three rock types in Fig. The size dependancy is also found to exist for stiff fissured clays ...
