A.
Tensile strength of rock
B.
Compressive strength of rock
AnswerC.
Shear strength of rock
D.
Elastic modulus of rock
Answer: Option B
Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
UCS test measures the maximum axial compressive stress that a rock sample can withstand before failure.This is a fundamental strength parameter in rock mechanics.
