Excerpt

Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) is one of the most significant geomechanical properties of rock, being of importance in civil engineering, mining, geotechnical, and infrastructure projects, etc. The UCS is a useful approximate parameter when considering a variety of issues encountered during blasting, excavation, and supporting in engineering works (Hoek 1977). UCS values are also employed in geomechanical classification of rock mass, viz. the rock mass rating (RMR) and Q system, which are used in designing and planning of underground works (Bieniawski 1976; Barton et al. 1974). …
