The differences of specimens in uniaxial compressive strength, strain at peak stress and elastic modulus were analyzed. The research result shows that the effect of erosion on the uniaxial compressive strength increased first and then decreased with the size of specimen reaching a critical value. The differences of strain at peak stress and elastic modulus were less significant than uniaxial compressive strength. %U http://ckyyb.crsri.cn/EN/10.11988/ckyyb.20160523
