Characterization of rock material by point load strength index test and direct cut
The objective of this work is to establish a relationship between the cutting time in rocks, determining a speed and the point load strength index test, Is (50), to characterize the rock in terms of resistance and avoid sending samples to laboratories. As a first stage, on andesite samples, 5 x 5 x 10 cm test tubes were made. After the elaboration they

Estimation of Uniaxial Compressive Strength and Tensile Strength of Sandstone Based on Point Load
In rock mechanics and engineering practice, accurate and rapid evaluation of uniaxial compressive strength and tensile strength of rock is important for engineering design and construction safety. Traditional test methods are time-consuming and laborious,

Though the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of rock material is one of the key properties for rockmass characterization purposes, core samples for the test cannot always be obtained from the field. Indirect tests such as the point load test (PLT) can be a useful alternative.

Experimental studies of scale effects on shear strength, and deformation of rock joints [PDF]
The effect of scale on shear strength is studied by performing direct shear tests on different sized samples of large joints. A rubber moulding system is used to obtain impressions of the roughness from a variety of natural joint surfaces.

The Effect of Mineral Composition on the Correlation between Point Load Index with the Uniaxial Compressive Strength of Sulfate Rocks and their Point Loading Deformation [PDF]
Point load test is a common, inexpensive and fast test for the indirect achievement of compressive or tensile strength of the rocks in the laboratory and the field. In this research, by conducting uniaxial compression test (UCT), axial (APLT), and diametral (DPLT) point load tests on gathered sulfate rock blocks from the Gachsaran Formation outcrops at
