2018-1-30 1.8 Unconfined Compression Test - It gives a quick and simple measurement of the undrained strength of cohesive, undisturbed soil specimens. 1) Testing method i) Trimming a sample. Length-diameter ratio (L/D) = 2 – 2.5, in order to a) minimize the effect of the end friction. (increasing L/D ratio) b) avoid overlapping of potential failure zones.

2007-5-10 The purpose of this laboratory is to determine the unconfined compressive strength of a cohesive soil sample. We will measure this with the unconfined compression test, which is an unconsolidated undrained (UU or Q-type) test where the lateral confining pressure is equal to zero (atmospheric pressure).

2021-11-18 The test method is only applicable to cohesive soils such as clays or cemented soils that will not expel water when loaded and will retain intrinsic strength once confining pressure is removed. ASTM D2166/ D2166M-16 lays out the standard test method for determining the unconfined compressive strength of cohesive soil.

2015-9-22 The unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of rock is a basic parameter for the design of foundations resting on rock. However, it is often very difficult to retrieve intact rock core specimens for the UCS test due to mechanical breaking or natural fracturing of the rock core during the drilling process. In such cases, it becomes obligatory to correlate UCS values based on the point load ...
