An experimental study of the mechanical properties of granite after high temperature exposure based on mineral characteristics

The macroscopic mechanical properties of granite collected from the Fujian Province, China were measured using uniaxial compression and three-point bending after the granite was exposed to high temperatures. The stress-strain relationship was measured and mechanical properties including the Young's modulus, uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and fracture toughness were calculated. In general, the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), Young's...
