Abstract: | The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate statistical models for predicting the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS)
and average Young’s modulus (E
av) for caliches, using some index and physical properties. The caliche samples, from Adana, southern Turkey, were of low strength
and difficult to sample. X-ray diffraction and microscopy were undertaken and the following physical parameters established:
unit weight, apparent porosity, Schmidt rebound number, Shore hardness, P-wave velocity, slake durability, point load, uniaxial
compressive strength and average Young’s modulus. Simple and linear regression variable selection analyses were performed.
The best relationships were obtained for UCS with P-wave velocity and unit weight and for average Young’s modulus with P-wave
velocity, porosity and slake durability. Empirical equations are proposed, although it is emphasised that these may only be
applicable for caliche of a similar geological character.
