An Empirical Correlation of Uniaxial Compressive Strength with P-wave Velocity and Point Load Strength Index on Marly Rocks Using Statistical Method

Estimation of rock mechanical properties is considered among the most important components in any engineering project To describe, the relationships between UCS with PLSI and P-wave velocity of the marly rocks, regression analyses have been conducted and empirical equations have been developed. The results of simple regression analyses may suggest significance of the relationships between UCS with P-wave velocity and PLSI values.
