At VGeotech Experts Pvt. Ltd., we specialize in comprehensive rock core sample analysis to deliver accurate and reliable data essential for geotechnical and construction projects. Our cutting-edge laboratory and experienced team ensure precise evaluation of subsurface materials, aiding in optimal construction planning and foundation design.
Key Aspects of Rock Core Sample Analysis:
1. Subsurface Characterization:
We identify the geological strata and various rock types present at the site, providing insights into the soil-rock profile and structural layering.
2. Strength Testing:
Rock core samples undergo uniaxial compression tests and triaxial compression tests to determine the rock’s load-bearing capacity, critical for structural stability and foundation design.
3. Porosity and Permeability Testing:
Our tests analyze the rock’s ability to allow water passage, which is essential in assessing the material’s drainage characteristics and its impact on foundation stability.
4. Mineralogical Composition:
We classify the rock samples based on their mineral content using advanced petrographic techniques, helping in material selection and construction planning.
5. Structural Analysis:
Our experts examine fractures, voids, weathering patterns, and discontinuities in the rock, which could affect long-term stability and foundation performance.
6. Seismic Evaluation:
We assess how the rock is likely to behave during seismic activity, which is critical for projects in earthquake-prone areas.
7. Density and Specific Gravity Tests:
These tests help determine the rock’s bulk density and specific gravity, which are vital parameters for foundation load calculations.
8. Water Absorption Test:
To evaluate the rock’s water absorption capacity, aiding in understanding its durability and weather resistance.
9. Point Load Test:
Used to estimate the rock’s strength index, especially when sample size is limited.
10. Petrographic Examination:
Detailed microscopic analysis of the rock sample to understand its texture, grain size, and mineral composition.
At VGeotech Experts Pvt. Ltd., our comprehensive rock core sample analysis services provide valuable insights for geotechnical investigations, enabling informed decision-making and ensuring the safety and longevity of construction projects.
