The document lists various rock types and their corresponding modulus of deformation values according to the International Society for Rock Mechanics. Limestone, dolomite, sandstone, and siltstone have lower modulus of deformation ranging from 3 to 27 GPa. Harder rock types like quartzite, granite, dolerite, and amphibolite have higher values, ranging from 20 to over 100 GPa. The modulus of deformation indicates a rock mass's resistance to elastic deformation when compressed or stretched.
