3、tumodulus of deformation of rock mass by subjecting a testchamber of circular cross section to uniformly distributedradial loading;the consequent rock displacements aremeasured,from which elastic or deformation moduli may becalculated.The anisotropic deformability of the rock can alsobe measured and
4、 information on time-dependent deformationmay be obtained.1.2 This test method is based upon the procedures devel-oped by the U.S.Bureau of Reclamation featuring longextensometers(1).2An alternative procedure is also availableand is based on a reference bar(2).More information on radialjacking and i

6、ersions to SI units that are provided forinformation only and are not considered standard.Reporting oftest results in units other than inch-pound shall not be regardedas nonconformance with this test method.1.4.1 The gravitational system of inch-pound units is usedwhen dealing with inch-pound units.
7、In this system,the pound(lbf)represents a unit of force(weight),while the unit for massis slugs.1.5 All observed and calculated values shall conform to theguidelines for significant digits and rounding established inPractice D6026.1.5.1 The procedures used to specify how data are collected/recorded
8、or calculated,in this standard are regarded as theindustry standard.In addition,they are representative of thesignificant digits that generally should be retained.The proce-dures used do not consider material variation,purpose forobtaining the data,special purpose studies,or any consider-ations for
9、the users objectives;and it is common practice toincrease or reduce significant digits of reported data to becommensurate with these considerations.It is beyond the scopeof this standard to consider significant digits used in analyticalmethods for engineering design.1.6 This standard does not purpor
