Rock classification by drillability. Part I: analysis of the available classifications

  • Published:
Journal of Mining Science Aims and scope

Abstract

Based on the quantitative estimations, it is demonstrated that available classifications of rocks by drillability disagree on the scales. Empirical formulae are obtained to compare the scales depending on uniaxial compressive strength of rocks.
