| Abstract | Samples of Hua Hin gneiss were collected from Khao Sanam Chai of
Hua Hin town. The physical, mechanical and mineralogical properties of
Hua Jlin gneiss are studied in detail in the laboratory. The correlations
between various properties were made and the index properties were
established. The results show that the values of the mineralogical and
physical properties vary greatly. The orientation of foliation plane
influences the mechanical properties of Hua Hin gneiss. The shear
strength of Hua Hin gneiss has a maximum and a minimum values when B=90°
and B=42-45° respectively. The tensile strength has a maximum value when
Bl =0° and decreases with increasing Bl angle. The sonic velocity
reaches a maximum value at B=0° and decreases with increasing B angle.
Relationship between Schmidt hammer hardness and uniaxial compressive
strength and that between Schmidt hammer hardness and sonic velocity are
found to be good index properties of Hua Hin gneiss. The Hua Hin gneiss
can be classified as high strength with high modulus ratio rock . |
