Uniaxial Compressive Strength

The uniaxial compressive strength test is used to determine the maximum value of stress obtained before failure. The determination of this parameter was carried out on specimens with dimensions 7 × 7 × 7 cm along two orthogonal directions (side A–side C), in order to identify possible anisotropies which were not identified by the test of water absorption by capillarity and …
