The contribution brings description of the mechanical properties of igneous rocks, particularly syenite from Kamenn? quarry within the T?eb?? Massif in Czech Republic. It is mainly focused on impact of triaxial compression testing in order to obtain data about the rock applicable for designing underground structures located at greater depths below the surface. The mechanical properties were determined from series of laboratory tests consisting of following procedures: (1) indirect tensile testing, (2) uniaxial com...
