Anisotropic behavior and mechanical characteristics of the Montney Formation

This study investigates the rock mechanics and anisotropic properties of the Montney Formation, Alberta, through two sets of experiments: unconfined compressive strength tests and triaxial compression tests, supplemented by ultrasonic wave velocity measurements. These tests enabled the calculation o...
