Abstract
A method includes preparing a rocklike core sample for compressive testing, the rocklike core sample defining a longitudinal axis and having first and second axial ends. Preparing the rocklike core sample includes providing a throughhole in the rocklike core sample, the throughhole extending between a first opening at the first axial end and a second opening at the second axial end, wherein the first opening and the second opening are dimensioned differently. The rocklike core sample is mounted in a compressive testing apparatus, and a compressive test is performed on the rocklike core sample in the compressive testing apparatus. The compressive test includes compression in axial and radial directions. A related system includes a compressive testing apparatus and a sample preparation apparatus which prepares a rocklike core sample for compressive testing in the compressive testing apparatus, via providing a throughhole in the rocklike core sample.
