In this paper, a series of uniaxial compression tests were conducted to investigate effects of cyclic wetting and drying on the mechanical properties of sandstone and mudstone collected from Chongqing city, China. The results showed that both elastic modulus and uniaxial compressive strength of sandstone and mudstone were reduced by
These four test methods cover the determination of the strength of intact rock core specimens in uniaxial and triaxial compression. Methods A and B determine the triaxial compressive strength at different pressures and Methods C and D determine the unconfined, uniaxial strength.

1. Introduction. Rock engineers widely use the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of rock in designing surface and underground structures. The procedure for measuring this rock strength has been standardised by both the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and the International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM) .Although, the method is relatively simple, it is time consuming .
Unconfined (Uniaxial) Compression Test (UCS) The test determines the unconfined compressive strength of a rock specimen. Drill core specimens with length to diameter ratio greater than 2:1 are cut with a diamond saw to achieve nearly parallel end faces within ± mm.
An understanding of rock strength is important for designing recovery plans for a reservoir and for developing an appropriate reservoir detailed discussion of rock failure can be found in Rock failure relationships and Compressive strength of the data needed for these methods may not be readily available, so there is a desire to use data available from well logs that are ...

USING THE POINT LOAD TEST TO DETERMINE THE UNIAXIAL COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF COAL MEASURE ROCK John Rusnak, Director of Geology Peabody Group St. Louis, MO Christopher Mark, Rock Mechanics Team Leader National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Pittsburgh, PA ABSTRACT Point load testing is used to determine rock strength
This example shows how to run an atomistic simulation of uniaxial compressive loading of an aluminum single crystal oriented in the <100> direction. It also compares results of simulations with 4,000, 32,000, and 108,000 atoms. This example uses a parallel molecular dynamics code, LAMMPS.
Method C, uniaxial compressive strength of rock is used in many design formulas and is sometimes used as an index property to select the appropriate excavation technique. Deformation and strength of rock are known to be functions of confining pressure. Method A, triaxial compression test, is commonly used to simulate the stress conditions under which most underground rock masses exist.
Estimating compressive strength. General rock failure criterion can be reduced to a few parameters dependent on lithology (m) and the uniaxial compressive strength (C 0). Lithology is commonly derived during log analysis, so m may be estimated (Table 1). What is needed still is an initial measure of rock strength provided by C 0.
Sheet silicates: talc, mica, chlorite, serpentine, all alert us to rocks with low shear strength parallel to direction of imposed loadsWeak or soluble rocks: montmorillonite, gypsum, shales, chalk . CLASSIFICATION OF ROCK MATERIAL BASED ON ... Uniaxial compressive strength of rock ...
Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) is a key physical test relevant to iron ore crusher design and rock geomechanics for mining. Tests are typically performed on intact lengths of NQ, HQ, or PQ diamond drill core and record the maximum axial load sustained at the point of failure.
Apr 11, 2017· Abstract. Prediction of elastic mechanical properties such as uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and static Young''s modulus (E s) is one of the main purposes of studies in geological, geotechnical, geophysical, petroleum, and rock engineering UCS test is .
strength reduction in all weathering grades are not so obvious since all specimens show variation of strength reduction from 5 % to 15 %. Then it can be deduce that 50% amplitudes of cyclic loads could reduce uniaxial compressive strength of weathered granite up to 15% average.

Compression of solids has many implications in materials science, physics and structural engineering, for compression yields noticeable amounts of stress and tension. By inducing compression, mechanical properties such as compressive strength or modulus of elasticity, can be measured.
uniaxial compressive strength from the results of the point load test. 4. Test Results and Discussion Uniaxial Compressive Strength Test Results The mean values of uniaxial compressive strength of the tested rocks are listed in Table 2. The strength values range from a low of MPa for Marl to a high of MPa for
Compressive strength is measured on materials, components, and structures. By definition, the ultimate compressive strength of a material is that value of uniaxial compressive stress reached when the material fails completely. The compressive strength is usually obtained experimentally by means of a compressive test. The apparatus used for this ...
