Slaking and swelling properties of mudstone
Abstract
Various initial experiments were carried out on Neogene mudstone in order to work out a standard test method for physically and mechanically testing the inferior properties of soft rock. As a result, it has been found that the specimen’s pre-emersion drying temperature, length of drying and initial water content etc. have a strong influence on the slaking and swelling properties of this mudstone.
