Descamps J.-P. Tshibangu Mining Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, UMONS-University of Mons, Belgium M. Ramos da Silva, C. Schroeder J.-C. Verbrugge Soil Mechanics Laboratory, Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium ABSTRACT: A true triaxial testing device has been developed in the nineties in the mining department of the Faculty of Engineering, Mons-Belgium. Since then data have been gathered from several rocks, among which various carbonated rocks exhibiting different mechanical behaviours. In this work, we compare the behaviour of three limestones: a compact and strong one (Soignies limestone, UCS = 100–120 MPa), a compact one with medium strength (Moca limestone, UCS = 60 MPa) and a soft and porous one (Sorcy limestone, UCS = 40 MPa). Experimental data are analyzed in terms of evolution of the behaviour and of limiting envelopes.
