Curve fitting of UCS. by Gaojian Hu (11457537)

“…The research results indicate that: (1) the uniaxial compressive strength decreases with the increase of the rock bridge angle, showing a power function relationship; (2) The uniaxial compressive strength decreases with the increase of rock size and tends to stabilize when the rock size is greater than 350 mm, showing a significant size effect. (3) The fluctuation coefficient of compressive strength increases with the increase of rock bridge angle and decreases with the increase of rock size; When the rock size is 350 mm, the fluctuation coefficient is less than 5%; (4) The characteristic compressive strength and characteristic size both increase with the increase of the rock bridge angle.…”
