Unconfined Compression Test - Geoengineer.org
WEBThe Unconfined Compression Test is a laboratory test used to derive the Unconfirmed Compressive Strength (UCS) of a rock specimen. Unconfirmed Compressive Strength (UCS) stands for the maximum axial compressive stress that a specimen can bear under zero confining stress.
Unconfined Compressive Strength Test – Properties and Behavior …
WEBThe unconfined compression test is the most popular method of soil shear testing because it is one of the fastest and least expensive methods of measuring shear strength. It is used primarily for saturated, cohesive soils recovered from thin-walled sampling tubes. The test is not applicable to cohesionless or coarse-grained soils.
