Brazilian Disc Tensile Strength (BDTS) data of tests conducted on salt samples from the Northwich Halite Member
URL: https://webapps.bgs.ac.uk/services/ngdc/accessions/index.html#item187105
The dataset contains indirect tensile strength data of salt samples collected from the Northwich Halite Member at the Winsford Mine in Cheshire, UK. Each sample was unconfined and deformed under uniaxial compression, where the primary principal stress corresponds to the axial stress and the intermediate and minimum principal stresses are equal to 0. Each sample was deformed using a constant loading rate of 200 N/s. The tests were completed using a servo-controlled stiff load frame equipped with an indirect tension fixture in the Rock Mechanics and Physics Laboratory at the British Geological Survey, Keyworth UK. The data are separated into individual Microsoft Excel files, with each file representing a single test. Each file contains time, axial force, axial displacement, and tensile stress data.
