RESUMEN: Hace cinco años el autor presentó una propuesta para determinar un factor de reducción de propiedades físico – mecánicas entre macizos rocosos y especímenes de prueba en laboratorio, la cual ha arrojado resultados coherentes con los que provienen de sistemas de clasificación de macizos rocosos (Q, GSI, RMR). Se describen los fundamentos del procedimiento (Brillouin, 1946), paso a paso, y su aplicación en varios casos, ofreciendo así un espectro amplio de aplicaciones, iniciando con la determinación de la longitud de onda característica () y la dimensión espacial interna (a), relacionadas entre sí, conllevando al cálculo de un factor intrínseco de escala; con dichos factores es factible relacionar las condiciones del macizo y laboratorio. Recientemente el autor determinó un factor de escala en un macizo rocoso (Útica – Colombia), que arrojó un resultado del 38% para sus propiedades mecánicas, respecto de las determinadas en el laboratorio.
