                                Uniaxial compression test. Specimen shaping and preparation. Standard procedure for conducting the test. Stress–strain diagrams using conventional and stiff servo-hydraulic loading machines. Determination of elastic constants for isotropic rock. Microcracking and macroscopic failure; dilatant behavior of rock. Influence of specimen size and shape. Influence of loading rate. Influence of the test environment. Indirect estimation of uniaxial compressive strength: Point load test, Schmidt hammer test. Classification of intact rock based on strength and elastic modulus. Includes exercises and laboratory applications. |
