Many manmade structures such as tunnels, roads, bridges, dams, power plants, etc. have Keywords: P waves, Longitudinal waves, Empirical relationship, Velocity of waves, Rock, Slake durability index.
Contribution/ OriginalityThis study is one of very few studies which have investigated the relationship between the sound velocity and slake durability index. This study documents that slake durability index can be estimated with a high level of accuracy by using the proposed equation.
