Abstract
GALVAN-CEBALLOS, Manolo and RESTREPO, Iván A.. Resistance correlation with compression uniaxial effective humidity and porous rocks. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2016, vol.83, n.198, pp.9-15. ISSN 0012-7353. https://doi.org/10.15446/dyna.v83n198.53151.
This research consists of the determination of the mechanical parameter of resistance to uniaxial compression in the rock and its correlation with moisture and effective porosity, physical properties of the rock. By its goal of study, the project comes within the framework of the mechanics of rocks. Rocks selected for research were taken from a quarry in South West Colombia. The investigation led to the determination of equations that allow to estimate the resistance to uniaxial compression of rock from its effective porosity and moisture content. It is important to highlight that such correlations are representative for rocks benefiting from lithological characteristics similar to those used in the experimentation. Finally the results are presented with their analysis and conclusions of the research.
