The data for the physical and mechanical properties of metamorphicrocks such as (Density, Young’s modulus, Uniaxial Compressive Strength (UCS),Porosity, Tensile strength, Specific Gravity) for some types of metamorphic rocks (Gneiss, Schist, Phyllite , Slate , Marble, Amphibolite, Hornfels and Quartzite) werecollected from previous studies. The statistical analysis has been investigated in order tofind the valuable relationships between physical and mechanical properties of thestudied rock.. The results revealed linear relationships between those properties. Basedon the coefficient of determination (R 2 ), the best linear correlations were obtainedbetween Young’s modulus and Porosity with R 2 of 0.86 whereas, the weak relationshipwas found between UCS and Specific Gravity of R 2 =0.22. This indicates that there is nota direct relationship between UCS and specific gravity.
