Significance and Use5.1 Information concerning the thermal expansion characteristics of rocks is important in the design of any undergroundexcavation where the temperature of the surrounding rock may be altered. Thermal strain
35、 causes Depending on the restraintconditions, thermal strain may cause thermal stress that ultimately affectsmay affect the stability of underground excavations.Examples of applications where an understanding of rock thermal strain is important include: nuclear waste repositories,underground power s
36、tations, compressed air energy storage facilities, energy foundations, and geothermal energy facilities.5.2 The linear coefficient of linear thermal expansion, , of rock is known to vary as the temperature changes. Rock thermalstrain is normally not a linear function of temperature. This test method
37、 provides a procedure for continuously monitoring thermalstrain as a function of temperature. Therefore, information on how a the coefficient of linear thermal expansion changes withtemperature is obtained.5.3 Other methods of measuring the expansion coefficient of linear thermal expansion of rock b
38、y averaging the thermal strainof a large specimen over a temperature range of many degrees may result in failure to determine the variation in of that rockfor one or more of the following reasons:5.3.1 Alpha is not always linear with temperature,5.3.2 Some rocks are anisotropic having directional ch
39、aracteristics which can vary by more than a factor of two. If anisotropyis expected, specimen with different orientations should be prepared and tested.5.3.3 Alpha may have a negative value in one direction and, at the same time, a positive value in the others.5.4 Strain gauges, both Both wire and f
40、oil types, type strain gauges have been successfully employed to measure the thermalexpansion coefficients of rock. These coefficients are frequently very small, being on the order of millionths of a millimetre permillimetre for each degree Celsius (millionths of an inch per inch for each degree Fah

Therefore,measurement methods for rocks require greater precision than methods that are routinely used on plastics and metals.NOTE 4Not
