Abstract Through the systematic analysis of basic features about International Society for Rock Mechanics(ISRM) suggested methods of rock mechanics laboratory tests and the structural level of test data,the basic idea and pattern of standardization are proposed to establish a standardization method system,a unified test data structure and a release format for laboratory tests. Then,the network language technology is used to design the digitized data structure document,data storage document and data display document. Based on the standardized data structure,a format conversion platform is developed to execute the digitized storage of initial test data document. The further development of Excel by visual basic for application(VBA) can implement the two-way transmission between utility software and digital storage document. The standardized and digitized data document can facilitate the integration of test data resources and the simultaneous updates of suggested methods. Besides,it has a good compression performance,a large data storage capacity and an advanced display format. With these superiorities,test data can be displayed and transported on web divorced from the platform. Thus,an international rock mechanics test data sharing platform is set up. This platform lays the foundation for the integration and sharing of data between different databases and the virtual laboratories. The successful application of standardization and digitization method to ISRM suggested methods of block punch strength index(BPI) test shows its scientificalness and availability.
