A review of test methods for uniaxial compressive strength of rocks: Theory, apparatus and data processing

The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of rocks is a vital geomechanical parameter widely used for rock mass classification, stability analysis, and engineering design in rock engineering. Various UCS testing methods and apparatuses have been proposed over the past few decades. The objective of the...
