The UCS test simply records the collapse load during uniaxial loading of a cylindrical specimen. As suggested by many, the UCS is an index rather than a unique engineering parameter. The UCS is thus a proxy for rock strength which depends on the loading rate (e.g., Bieniawski 1967), specimen geometry (e.g., Hudson et al., 1971), …
The point load test (PLT) is an accepted rock mechanics testing procedure used for the calculation of a rock strength index. This index can be used to estimate other rock strength parameters. The focus of this paper is to present the data analysis used to correlate the point load test index (Is 50) with the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS ...

The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of intact rock is an important mechanical parameter which is required for many engineering projects. In some engineering projects such as well drilling for petroleum production, due to the depth of the well, there are some limitations for obtaining rock core samples and determining the UCS.

1. Introduction. Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) is one of the most widely used rock mechanical parameters in rock engineering like design and construction of foundations, tunneling, slope stability investigations, etc. UCS is also the only parameter to assess rock material strength in Rock Mass Rating (RMR) proposed by Bieniawski …
The point load index (PLI) test is one of the most frequently applied indirect methods in predicting the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS). Depending on the rock sample shape, the PLI test is performed in four procedures: axial, diametrical, block, and irregular lump tests. The present research aims to conduct a comparative study on the accuracy of …
different rock failure modes under uniaxial compression test. When uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) increased for the rock then the different types of failure modes can be seen accordingly. Generally rock samples fail through one or more extensional planes of the fracture development in brittle crystalline rock materials.
The Leeb hardness test (LHT with test value of LD) is a rebound hardness test, originally developed for metals, that has been correlated with the Unconfined Compressive Strength (test value of σc) of rock by several authors. The tests can be carried out rapidly, conveniently and nondestructively on core and block samples or on rock …
Uniaxial compression test (UCS) is one of the oldest and simplest rock mechanical test used to determine the Young's modulus and unconfined compressive strength. It is also used as the most common simulation to calibrate the material properties in FDEM or DEM. In this model, the sample is compressed by two rigid platens and the force ...

When mining engineers and practitioners request the use of empirical equations, only data of a specific type of rock test may be available. Therefore, use of simple regression is important in mining engineering. This paper investigates the performance of empirical equations when estimating UCS of rock by measurements of …
For tests to determine the strength of the rock (UCS, TCS, BTS), the ISRM recommends core-drilled samples of minimum 50 mm in diameter, and a length of approximately two times (2x) the diameter. Therefore, long core drill samples are recommended so after sawing the testing samples fulfill this requirement. The diameter of the sample should be ...
