Undrained Shear Strength vs. Cohesion

Undrained Shear Strength vs. Cohesion

Undrained Shear Strength vs. Cohesion

If a Soils Testing Laboratory gives you Unconfined Compressive Strength (qu) Values for Rock Core strength tests, can you assume that the Cohesion of the Rock is equal to half of those values- i.e. qu/2?

Thanks!
