Mathematically, uniaxial compressive strength is expressed by a simple relationship: Co = P/A where Co = Compressive strength/unit area; P = Load at failure, A = Area of cross-section of stone under P. Practical determination of unconfined compressive strength of a building stone is carried out in a well-equipped civil engineering laboratory.
