The impact of water content and ionic diffusion on the uniaxial compressive strength of shale

Experimental data showed that water content has a profound influence on the uniaxial compressive strength of shale. Testing has shown a great decrease in the uniaxial compressive strength as the water content increases. Regression analysis was used in this work to develop a general equation for pred...
