Study of the relationship between uniaxial compressive strength and the point loadindex test in rocks from the bank in Seybaplaya Campeche Mexico

The present research focuses on analyzing the uniaxial compressive strength of rocks and its relationship with point load index testing. It is important to note that Seybaplaya, located in Campeche Mexico, is recognized for its fishing, industrial and commercial activities and where a rock bench is located from which samples were obtained to carry out the study. As a result, equations were developed that allow predicting the simple uniaxial compressive strength based on the values obtained from the point load index test. It is relevant to highlight that these relationships are valid only for rocks with lithological characteristics similar to those used in this study. The analysis results and conclusions demonstrate the linearity of the relationships between the simple uniaxial compressive strength and the point load index test.
