Test Parameters Library

The Test Parameters Library contains published reference values for material characterization parameters used in fragmentation analysis. It is intended for users interested in conducting a rockfall fragmentation analysis but have limited or no access to laboratory data. The library is organized by laboratory test type, each in its own tab: Brazilian test, Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) test, and Fracture Toughness test. Test parameters from these laboratory tests are required inputs in the Slope Material Library and Rock Type Library, and thus the Test Parameters Library can be accessed from both library dialogs.

When an entry is selected (highlighted), and the user clicks OK, the corresponding field in the Slope Material Library or Rock Type Library will be populated by the published value in the reference entry.
