Geomechanical strength test data from the Whitby Mudstone Formation

The accompanying dataset contains geomechanical strength data of mudstone samples collected from the Grey Shale Member, of the Whitby Mudstone Formation of the Lias Group.
Testing includes Uniaxial Compressive Strength (UCS), Indirect Tensile Strength (ITS) and Triaxial strength testing completed at the University of Leeds (UoL) and Point Load testing completed at the British Geological Survey (BGS).

All sample preparation, preservation and testing were completed to the specification outlined by the ISRM (2007) unless otherwise stated.
For all Triaxial testing, each sample was deformed under standard triaxial stress conditions, where the primary principal stress corresponds to the axial stress and the intermediate and minimum principal stresses are equal to that of the confining pressure.

The data are separated into individual Excel files (.xlsx), with each file representing a single test. Each file contains time, force, stress, displacement, and strain data.
