Abstract

Linear Cutting Machine (LCM) test, which is expensive and difficult to perform for measurement of rock cutting forces, is one of the most powerful tests to estimate cuttability of rocks in laboratory. It is performed to measure the cutting force using rock mass blocks instead of intact rocks, which is not represent the mass features. In this study, the LCM tests were conducted on 8 different rock types consist of various granitic gneiss, meta-andesite, dolerite, meta-dolerite, Paragneiss and calc-silicate. Further, intact rock tests including uniaxial compressive strength, tensile strength, density, brittleness and Cerchar abrasivity index were carried out on a rock specimen. Then relations between measured intact rock properties and measured cutting force via LCM tests were examined. It is found that the intact rock properties could be employed to estimate cutting force (Fn) for similar rocks as the LCM test is not accessible.
