Experimental Investigation on the Physical and Mechanical Features of Clay Shale in Bayingobi Basin of Inner Mongolia

Article Preview

Abstract:

The basic physical and mechanical characteristics of Clay shale in Bayingobi Basin of Inner Mongolia have been investigated by using supersonic testing system, rock mechanical testing system, and rock triaxial testing system. The results indicate that the deep clay shale of this region is characterized by high density, high mechanical strength, low deformation and strong brittleness. More specifically, according to the tests, because of their relative small particle size, the carbonate grains of clay rocks in this region are distributed more uniformly, and the average clay mineral content is comparatively low, as a result, the deep clay shale of this region are featured by large internal friction angle and high mechanical strength.
