The uniaxial compression test reveals the elastic constants and the unconfined compressive strength, whereas the tensile strength is usually determined by means of Brazilian tests. Shear tests on discontinuities are difficult to be carried out, because of the complicated sampling procedure. Tests with stepwise irrigation represent a step forward in testing of swelling rocks. Slake durability and abrasiveness tests are of considerable relevance for construction in rock.
