Scale Effect and Correlation between Uniaxial Compressive Strength and Point Load Index for Limestone and Travertine

Determining the uniaxial compressive strength of intact rock is the primary objective of a geomechanical project, and a reliable estimate in the early phases saves time and costs for more sophisticated laboratory tests. The problem is knowing which of the correlations between the resistance to uniax...
