Utah FORGE: Results of Direct Shear Tests on Saturated Joints in Sierra White Granite

Description

This dataset includes an Excel file with the results of direct shear tests to investigate the mechanical and geophysical response of saturated joints. Tests were conducted on induced tension-fractured Sierra White granite joints in a custom water pressurized chamber. The preparation of granite joints is summarized in the PDF file. The PDF file also includes a description of the direct shear tests, experimental procedure, and results.
