Abstract

This study focuses on comparing the Uniaxial Compressive Strength (UCS) of rock between laboratory experimental testing and Finite Element Method (FEM) simulation to understand the relationship between experimental results and simulation outcomes. UCS tests were conducted on controlled rock samples, measuring compressive strength under defined loading conditions. Simultaneously, FEM simulations were implemented to analyze the behavior of the rock under similar conditions. The research findings indicate a clear correlation between the experimental results and the simulation outputs, demonstrating that FEM can effectively predict UCS values. This highlights the potential of using FEM as a supplementary tool for studying and analyzing the properties of rock materials accurately and reliably.
