The Effect of Specimen's Height on the Point Load Test

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to use different size of the rock in the site point load tests, select the same site at the scene of specimen do load test research. Through the statistical analysis of 9 groups of the point load strength index data, demonstrates the influence of the test specimen size and shape sample size and shape to rock point load test results, and draws the influence rule of the specimen height to the point load test. The research has the vital significance for underground engineering design and construction.
