1.1 This test method covers the measurement of the deformability and strength of large in situ specimens of weak rock by a uniaxial compressive test. The test results take into account the effect of both intact material behavior and the behavior of discontinuities contained within the specimen block.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
