Abstract: The dataset deals with the mechanical characterization of sedimentary rocks collected along the banks of Longyear river in proximity of Longyearbyen (Svalbard) at the junction of Bolterdalen and Adventdalen valleys. Considering the use of the rocks as possible local construction materials for new road infrastructures, three types of laboratory tests were performed for mechanical characterization: Los Angeles (LA) tests, micro-Deval (MDE) tests and Repeated Load Triaxial Tests (RLTTs). Five specimens were investigated by means of LA tests, five ...
