Which test is most suitable for determining the elastic modulus of rock?
A. Slake durability test
B. Unconfined compression test
C. Schmidt hammer test
D. Point load test
Answer: Option B
Solution (By Examveda Team)
The unconfined compression test provides stress-strain data used to compute elastic modulus, which defines stiffness.This Question Belongs to Geological Engineering >> Rock Mechanics And Rock Engineering
