Áfico de Correlación Del Martillo Schmidt - Miller 1965 PDF

This document discusses methods for estimating the shear strength of rock discontinuities. It presents a figure showing the average dispersion of shear strength values for most rocks in megapascals. The figure also relates the uniaxial compressive strength of rock in megapascals to its estimated joint wall compressive strength derived from Schmidt hardness measurements using a Type L hammer.
