8. STRENGTH OF SOILS AND ROCKS

For the uniaxial or unconfined compressive strength test a right circular cylinder of the material is compressed between the platens of a testing machine as illustrated in Fig. 8.1. The compressive strength is then defined as the maximum load applied to crush the specimen divided by the cross-sectional area.
