The suggested methods were prepared in 1978. The method of test set out in part 1 is intended to measure the uniaxial compressive strength of a rock sample in the form of specimens of regular geometry. The test is mainly intended for strength classification and characterization of intact rock.
Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) is an important property of rock. Uniaxial compressive strength is widely used in the slope stability analysis and in the design of foundations and tunneling in rocks. Uniaxial compressive strength is also used in rock mass rating (RMR), QSystem, and in the determination of shear strength parameters of rock ...
Thus, the main goal of this study was to establish specific correlations for sedimentary rocks of northern Algeria. These correlations allowed the initiation of equations to estimate uniaxial compressive strength on the basis of density, porosity, and SRN measurements.
The following six parameters are used to classify a rock mass using the RMR system. Uniaxial compressive strength of rock material. Rock quality designation (RQD) Spacing of discontinuities. Condition of discontinuities. Groundwater conditions. Orientation of discontinuities.
Determine Unconfined Compressive Strength of Cohesive Soil Home / Geotechnical Engineering / GE Lab Tests / Determine Unconfined Compressive Strength of Cohesive Soil The unconfined compressive strength (q u ) is the load per unit area at which the cylindrical specimen of a cohesive soil falls in compression.
1 of 1. A measure of a material's strength. The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) is the maximum axial compressive stress that a rightcylindrical sample of material can withstand before failing. It is also known as the unconfined compressive strength of a material because confining stress is set to zero.
Uniaxial Compressive Strength The Uniaxial Compressive Strength (UCS) of rock may be regarded as the highest stress that a rock specimen can carry when a unidirectional stress is applied, normally in an axial direction, to the ends of a cylindrical specimen (Olaleye and Ojo, 2004).
Failure in Uniaxial Compression: Rock examines under uniaxial compressive anxiety, on account of uneasiness centers around minor discontinuities, can fail in strain, in shear or in coupling of the weight and shear stresses. It relies on upon the presentation of .
From uniaxial compression test, young's modulus of elasticity and Poisson's ratio of rock specimen are determined if the stress strain behaviour till peak is captured. The slope of the
Determination of the deformability of rock materials in uniaxial compression—Rock strength less than 50 MPa 1 SCOPE This Standard sets out the method for determining uniaxial compressive strength, the stressstrain characteristics, Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio of a rock sample in compression in the form of specimens of regular geometry of strength less than 50 MPa.
pink and black andesite blocks. The uniaxial compressive strength and unit weight tests were performed on 70 specimens in accordance with the suggested method of ISRM [1]: the results of the tests are summarized in Table 1. The average UCS for the tuff matrix is, ranging between and The range in UCS

The core strangle test is intended as an index test for the strength classi?cation of rock materials, and for determination of uncon?ned compressive strength. The test measures the core strangle index (CSI) of rock specimens in the form of core having a length of 25 mm or more, and rock specimens are broken by the load applied through a circle ...
Ultrasonic techniques are a simple, costeffective, portable and nondestructive approach for evaluating the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of rocks. However, there are a number of factors affecting the ultrasonic pulse velocity (V p) values. The main factors controlling the reliability of the method are surface irregularities of rock ...
