Abstract
A new method of classification of rocks is proposed based on rock material properties determined in the laboratory. Uniaxial compressive strength is plotted against the ratio of tangent elastic modulus to Poisson's ratio. For unweathered rocks this gives the horizontal strain of the rock at failure. It is convenient to plot the experimental values on log-log paper in order to assess the mean value.
