Rock brittleness indices and their applications to different fields of rock engineering: A review
Brittleness is an important parameter controlling the mechanical behavior and failure characteristics of rocks under loading and unloading conditions, such as fracability, cutability, drillability and rockburst proneness. As such, it is of high practical value to correctly evaluate rock brittleness....
