Uniaxial Compressive Strength (UCS) test

To study the rock failure behaviour, for example the rock spalling potential, the relationship of the UCS, and the ratio of the UCS and the tensile strength will give an estimation of the spalling potential.

By comparing the UCS of the rock to rock stresses  result in an estimation of the rock mass strength and the factor of safety (FOS) against rock mass failure. We can provide turn key solutions for determining the rock mass strength, in situ stresses and provide you high quality stability analysis.
