Rock and rock masses present a variation of mechanical properties when the tested volume changes. Usual approaches for estimating rock mass properties do not really consider volume change. To investigate the scale effects on rock strength and the deformation modulus, core samples with different size were collected in an underground mine and tested in uniaxial compression. In situ dilatometer measurements were also performed to evaluate the deformation modulus. The results showed a decrease in strength and of the deformation modulus when the tested specimen size increased. The results also highlight that the usual approaches to estimate rock mass properties from those of intact rock samples can overestimate the strength and deformation modul...
