The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of the samples after applying the F-T cycle was estimated using the point load test (PLT) values. With the developed empirical relationship, it was identified that the PLT values predicted UCS with a high correlation coefficient of 0.8663.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCappadocia regionpyroclastic rocksfreeze-thaw cyclespoint load testuniaxial compressive strengthestimationMechanical-PropertiesPrediction ModelArticle10.1134/S10627391240300862-s2.0-85206592524
