A log-scale scatter plot compares strength ratio with O C R for fissured, intact, and intact block samples.The O C R axis spans 1 to 100, and the S U C divided by sigma prime V C axis spans 0.1 to 10. Fissured sample values generally increase from about 0.3 at O C R 3.5 to between 1.0 and 1.7 at O C R 40 to 65, with one value near 4.6 at O C R 25. Intact sample values generally increase from about 0.3 at O C R 1.5 to between 1.0 and 2.8 at O C R 4 to 35. Intact block sample values generally increase from about 0.3 at O C R 1 to between 0.7 and 1.0 at O C R 3 to 6.
