Dataset on physical properties and mechanical parameters of limestone rocks from Central Apennines (Italy) by laboratory test on intact rock specimens.

ABSTRACT: Physical properties and mechanical parameters of intact rocks are essential in defining geomechanical characteristics of rock masses. The latter are fundamental in the geotechnical design and numerical modelling of engineering-geological applications involving slope stability analyses as well as the design of dams, foundations, tunnels, open and underground mines, nuclear storage repository etc. Time and financial constraints of many projects often do not allow to perform all the laboratory tests necessary for physical-mechanical characterization of the rock matrix. In these cases, existing published data are the only tools for appropriate definition of the geomechanical characteristics of the intact rocks and subsequent development of engineering-geological performances.
