2013-11-1 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.

Read More2014-2-20 The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of rock is widely used in various engineering projects performed in rock environment. Although the method is relatively simple, it is time consuming and expensive. It also requires well-prepared rock cores. For this reason, indirect tests are frequently used to predict the UCS for preliminary studies.

Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) is one of the most important mechanical properties of rocks widely used in different engineering related projects to evaluate the stability of structures against loads. Determination of the UCS demands the presence of high quality core samples which cannot always be provided due to existence of weak, fractured, and foliated rocks.

It has been used widely in practice due to easy testing, the simplicity of specimen preparation, and possible field applications. Many researchers have investigated the relation between uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and point load index (Is) for different rock types.
