 ABSTRACT

The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) is classified as one of the basic mechanical
properties of rocks, which is widely used in mining and construction practice. For
example, it allows geomechanics to classify individual rocks and soils into groups with
the same or similar mechanical properties. An example is the (RMR) Rock Mass Rating,
Barton’s Q system. [1,2]. As a rule, only an indicative determination of the uniaxial
compressive strength is sufficient for this classification. The uniaxial compressive
strength is determined in the laboratory on regular test pieces. The preparation of these
test bodies is often a time-consuming and costly process, and in some cases, the
recommended shape cannot be prepared for a small amount of rock sample or, in the case
of highly fractured and friable rock. For this reason, alternative methods for determining
compressive strength are being sought. These methods are supposed to be faster and
cheaper and to provide results directly in situ. The paper presents information obtained
from the indirect determination of the uniaxial compressive strength according to the
strength index measured with a field press on various rock types from the Czech
Republic.

CONCLUSION

Hardness of mild steel piece increases after the compression this is due to strain
hardening or Work hardening

STRAIN HARDENING: is the strengthening of a metal or polymer by plastic deformation.

Work hardening may be desirable, undesirable, or inconsequential, depending on the
context.
