Uniaxial Compressive Strength
UCS is the capacity of a material to withstand axially directed crushing forces. When the limit of comprehensive strength is reached, specimens fail, and are crushed. The UCS itself is the msximum force that a speciment can withstand before failure occurs.
Comprehensive studies of UCS can be used to supply structural data for many mining and engineering applications including;
-
Underground Roof and Floor Geotechnical Studies
-
Foundation and material testing for construction
