The Analysis of Factors Affecting Rock Strength of Sandstone

Abstract:

Based on the microscope observation, the sedimentary characteristics of 20 groups sandstone samples were analyzed. All sandstones are taken from Shendong Coal Mine Area. The observation contents consist of rock constituents, grain size, textural and compositional maturity, cements and particle contact manner. Through the analysis of sedimentary characteristics and experimental determination, the research work reveals the influence factors of rock strength.
