metadata.dc.description.abstractenglish:	This study investigates the geomechanical properties of volcanic rocks from the Camilo Ponce Enríquez mining field in Ecuador. The research aims to understand the physical and mechanical features of these rocks to enhance the safety of mining operations in the area. Laboratory tests were conducted following ISRM and ASTM methodologies to provide relevant information for these purposes. The results revealed a significant correlation (R 0.802) between uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and point load strength (PLT), as well as (R 0.703) between UCS and indirect tensile strength index (IDT). Additionally, a new equation was developed to estimate compressive strength from the Schmidt hammer, facilitating rapid assessment of rock masses in the field. These findings have significant implications for decision-making in the mining industry and civil engineering in the region.
