Assessing point load strength in irregular phyllite via an equivalent area method.

Obtaining intact cylindrical cores from soft, weathered rock is frequently challenging, making the point load test a preferred technique for quickly determining rock strength. This study critically evaluates two widely used point load strength calculations-the loading-span and equivalent-diameter me...
