Study on the Relation between Uniaxial Compressive Strength and Point Load Strength

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to investigate the relation between uniaxial compressive strength and point load strength, several homogeneous rock specimens were tested, and the influence of the different rock type was investigated using regression analysis and the derived equations were statistically tested. The test result show that there are some correlations and trends between uniaxial compressive strength and point load strength, the shape size and lithology of rock specimens have important influence on the result of point load test, and the greain size, the mineral compositon and the structral compact are key factors. It is difficult to realize that using one or several function to describe all internal relations between uniaxial compressive strength and point load strength.
