Geographic location of data collection (where was data collected?): Room 375, Rock Mechanics Lab, Civil Engineering Building 6. Information about funding sources that supported the collection of the data: National Science Foundation (00063968). 7. Overview of the data (description): This data sets include UCS tests and indirect tensile tests for four types of rock: Alabama Marble, Bonne Terre Dolomite, Burlington Limestone, and Dunnville Sandstone. Three samples are used for the UCS and tensile tests on each rock. The files for the UCS tests include sample dimensions, sample picture before and after failure, and test results. The files for the indirect tensile tests include specimen dimensions, test data, and test picture and slow-motion videos. -------------------------- SHARING/ACCESS INFORMATION -------------------------- 1.
