What this report found

Laboratory testing showed coal specimen strength rising linearly with width to height ratio and falling exponentially with specimen size, the size effect becoming insignificant beyond about 2 m diameter. The slope of that relationship was the same for coals from different mines, while the intercept varied with specimen size.
