Uniaxial compressive strength test before and after standard fire test on rock mass

The paper presents uniaxial compressive strength test according to SRPS EN 1926. Uniaxial compressive strength test was performed on 12 identical cube-shaped specimen’s dimensions 70 mm x 70 mm x 70 mm, which are made of sandstone. Samples were brought form Laz tunnel and were divided into two groups of six samples. First group of samples consists of 6 samples tested for uniaxial compressive strength. Second group of samples consists of 6 samples exposed to standard fire test according to SRPS EN 1363-1, with the intention to test uniaxial compressive strength after standard fire test. The aim of this study was to examine the uniaxial compressive strength of the rock, before and after standard fire test on the rock mass. The paper presents the strengths of the specimens tested before and after standard fire test.
