Abstract

This study investigates anisotropy of mechanical properties, namely, compressive strength and modulus, for Tiva Canyon welded tuff from the starter tunnel at Yucca Mountain. Triaxial compression test results show that there is no strength anisotropy present between cores taken in a horizontal and vertical direction however, there is a modulus anisotropy present at low confining pressures.
