Study of the relationship between uniaxial compressive strength and the indirecttensile test (BTS) 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 the indirect tensile test (the Brazilian method). It is important to note that Seybaplaya, located in Campeche, Mexico, is known for its fishing, industrial and commercial activities, and is home to a rock bank from which samples were obtained for this study. As a result, an equation was developed that allows predicting the simple uniaxial compressive strength from the values obtained in the indirect tensile test. It should be noted that this relationship is valid only for rocks with similar lithological characteristics of the samples analyzed. The results of the analysis and conclusions show the linearity of the relationship between the simple uniaxial compression resistance and the indirect tensile test.
