Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) is one of the crucial parameters controlling the strength of rock masses (Hu et al. 2012). A reliable and direct measurement of this parameter in the laboratory requires well-prepared samples and certified testing apparatus (Heidari et al. 2012). As an indirect method, index tests have been widely used to estimate the UCS of rock, especially in the field ...

The laboratory determination of intact rock strength is accomplished by the following tests: point load index, unconfined compression, triaxial compression, Brazilian test, and direct shear. The uniaxial (or unconfined) compression test provides the general reference value, having a respective analogy with standard tests on concrete cylinders .

The definition of UCS is "unconfined compressive rock strength," that is, the rock strength measured with zero confining pressure. However, the variations of measured values with Pc=0 are too large even though the samples look nonheterogeneous. Samples often split and premature failure occurs before shear failure.
