Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) is one of the crucial parameters controlling the strength of rock masses (Hu et al. 2012). A reliable and direct measurement of this parameter in the laboratory requires well-prepared samples and certified testing apparatus (Heidari et al. 2012). As an indirect me...
