The effect of non-standard loading platen usage on point load index value of rocks [PDF]
Journal of the Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, 2021 The point load index is a simple, fast, and inexpensive method for determining rock strength and can be applied both in the field and in the laboratory. There are, however, some disadvantages and limitations to the method, and the test results can be affected by the person carrying out the test, the rock characteristics, or the test device.
