Abstract: As a basic parameter of rock, the rock bridge angle plays an important role in maintaining the stability of rock masses. To study the size effect of rock bridge angle on the uniaxial compressive strength of rocks, this paper adopts the principle of regression analysis and combines numerical simulation to carry out relevant research. The research results indicate that: (1) the uniaxial compressive strength decreases with the increase of the rock bridge angle, showing a power function relationship; (2) The uniaxial compressive strength decreases with the increase of rock size and tends to stabilize when the rock size is greater than 350 mm, showing a significant size effect. (3) The fluctuation coefficient of compressive strength increases with the increase of rock bridge angle and decreases with the increase of rock size; When the rock size is 350 mm, the fluctuation coefficient is less than 5%; (4) The characteristic compressive strength and characteristic size both increase with the increase of the rock bridge angle.
