| 英文摘要: |
| The paper presents results of a laboratory experimental program performed on limestone rock samples, using both physical and
mechanical methods. The studied rocks (Simsima Formation, Upper Cretaceous) can be classified as highly ferruginous and highly
fossilliferous limestone. The lower part of the Simsima Formation contains common fauna such as Orbittoids, rhodolithic and rudists, whereas the upper part of the limestone is interbedded with conglomerates. Detailed geological, petrographic in addition
to physical and mechanical tests were carried out on some representative samples from the Faiyah area, aiming at getting a
better understanding of the important properties of these rocks. It is shown that the uniaxial unconfined compressive stress
is the controlling factor of classification of the Faiyah limestone. |
