Abstract:ÖzUniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and some physical properties of rock materials are very important input parameters used in rock mechanics and engineering. Samples with standard shape and dimension are used in physical and mechanical tests. However, it is difficult to determine the UCS values in case of difficult sample preparation conditions. To overcome this limitation prediction of UCS values from indirect test methods is preferred. One of the most common parameters used to predict the UCS values of ro… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
