Triaxial compression tests from core hole U-15n are part of a larger material characterization effort for the Source Physics Experiment (SPE) project. This larger effort encompasses characterizing Climax Stock granite rock from the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) both before and after each SPE shot. The current test series includes triaxial compression tests on dry and saturated intact granite and fault material at 100, 200, 300, and 400 MPa confining pressure.
