Introduction A closer look at the development projects and construction boom that occurred in the last decade in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) gives thoughtful considerations about the construction of such major projects.
The compressive strength of road pavements is commonly specified in concrete road and pavement specifications. This however is slightly odd in that the compressive strength is not a critical parameter for pavement performance, the flexural strength is much more important from a structural point of view.
In 2007, approximately 135 ft (41.1 m) of 4 inch (10.61 cm) diameter rock cores was recovered from two actively deforming traces of the San Andreas Fault. 97 evenly (more or less) distributed index tests for Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) where performed on the cores using a modified point-load …
The GCTS PLT-2W Point Load Testing Device is an easy-to-use system made of light-weight, high-strength anodized aluminum that remains extremely accurate while being very portable. Due to the compact design, this test can be performed either in a laboratory or in the field. The PLT-2W is used to determine the rock strength index of a sample, which can be used to estimate the uniaxial ...

Civil Engineering Q&A Library A clay sample was tested in the laboratory for unconfined compressive test. Determine the undrained shear strength if the unconfined compressive strength is 50KPA. Answer in kPa only value without unit.
The laboratory determination of intact rock strength is accomplished by the following tests: point load index, unconfined compression, triaxial compression, Brazilian test, and direct shear. The uniaxial (or unconfined) compression test provides the general reference value, having a respective analogy with standard tests on concrete cylinders .

3.2 POINT LOAD TEST (PLT) The Point Load Test is also known as the Franklin test. The first reference is by Reichmuth, D. (1968) [10], who proposed obtaining the resistance to a point load and a determination of the unconfined compression strength via correlation, regardless of whether they are irregular, regular, or cylindrical rock controls [11].
Nov 23, 2015· This can result in very low numbers of suitable samples for unconfined compressive strength testing (UCS) being available. In the absence of UCS test results, or in the absence of a sufficient number of test results, point load index test (PLT) results of the recovered core are frequently used to estimate the UCS value.

(8 marks) (ii) Classify the strength of sample A and B based on Bieniawaski 1975 classification as given in Table Q3c(ii).
Aug 10, 2020· Point Load test is an alternate method that can be used to adequately predict the uniaxial compressive strength of a rock material using a portable and simpler equipment. Schmidt Hammer Rebound test is also a technique used for this purpose but, it is admitted that its results are far more variable and affected by testing methods.
Mar 02, 2020· Soil cohesion also depends on inter-granular loads and testing method and, when no lateral load is applied to the sample, adhesion is con-sidered to be soil shear strength (Chang and Cho, 2019). Unconfined compression tests are used to determine adhesive soil strength (Güneyli and Rüşen, 2016). Generally, testing for unconfined
unconfined compressive strength as a function of both indirect tensile strength and point load strength. These relationships incorporate either weathering states or the proximity

Indirect methods such as the point load test have been proposed to determine the unconfined compressive strength of shales and other soft rocks. It is current practice to use 24 as the conversion factor between the point load strength, I s, and the unconfined compressive strength, s f (s f …
Nov 23, 2015· Unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of rocks is a crucial parameter in designing geotechnical structures. Owing to difficulties in obtaining proper samples for UCS test as well as the point that conducting UCS is relatively expensive, the use of indirect methods for UCS estimation has drawn considerable attentions. This review paper is aimed to briefly highlight different proposed …

Unconfined compressive strength was correlated to index strength and weathering using three different approaches. For all approaches, indirect tensile strength has a better correlation with unconfined compressive strength than point load strength.
ratio, it should be possible to estimate the unconfined compressive strength from the point load required for failure. In that the point load test is related to various other' tensile tests for concrete and rock, the direct origins of the point load test are somewhat uncertain. In one of
