Uniaxial Compressive Strength
As reported in Table 8, the average value of compressive strength (Rc) for the Camelio samples is 25.04 MPa, while samples from Porcari and Leone quarries show lower values which are similar to each other (Fig. 13), respectively 15.03 Mpa and 12.09 MPa. The difference between directions A and C was not evident, thus indicating a low anisotropy.

Measuring Rock Strength
Rock strength can be measured in a number of ways. Generally, the UCS (Unconfined Compressive Strength) is the most common type of assessment. Direct measurement is undertaken in a similar way to concrete cylinders i.e. a core of rock must be taken of the rock mass you are assessing. This requires a medium to large sized drilling rig capable of ...
