Uniaxial Compressive Strength

The uniaxial compressive strength of a rock under static loading often decreases with an increasing temperature at which the rock has been heat-treated before strength testing. This conclusion is drawn from a great number of experiments [1,2,4,8,9,11,17–19].The higher the temperature is, the lower the strength. Some results for uniaxial …
