Point-load strength: An index for classification of rock material
Abstract Point-load strength (Is) as a measure for the determination of rock strength and for estimating uniaxial (unconfined) compressive strength (UCS) are described and both put together and used for rock strength classification of brittle and hard rocks. The estimated point-load strength values of specimens of varying sizes and also the values corrected to a standard thickness of 50 mm, and the resultant point-load strength values (Is-50) have been used to estimate the uniaxial (unconfined) compressive strength which correlates well with actual recorded uniaxial (unconfined) compression test results. Using graphical and mathematical relationships between the observed and estimated UCS and Is values, a conversion factor of 16 is obtained for estimating uniaxial (unconfined) compressive strength values from point load strength results. A nomogram for computing point-load strength index and a system for the classification of rock material are presented.
