Çomakli R.Atici Ü.2019-08-012019-08-0120172564-7024https://hdl.handle.net/11480/1764One of the mechanical property of rocks is destruction specific energy that estimated from the area (integral) under the stress-strain curve in unconfined compression test. The minerals in the rocks are effective on the mechanical properties of the rocks. In this study, the relation between destruction specific energy and mineral shape properties were investigated. The unconfined compressive tests were performed on nine different rock samples and the destruction specific energy values were estimated with calculating the area (integral) under the stress-strain curve for each rock sample. The texture coefficient approach was used for determining of the mineral shape properties and the texture coefficient values were calculated for each rock sample. The results were analyzed with using linear regression analyze method and a strong relation was found between destruction specific energies and the texture coefficients of rocks.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessDestruction specific energyGranitic rocksTexture coefficientArticle564173180
