Rock point load test (PLT index) and its correlation with rock coring rate of bored pile machine by Yusof, Z.M., Farn, W.S., Leow, C.S., Lee, J.C.

“…Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of rocks is a useful parameter needed for analytical and designing purpose for rock structure, as well as classification of rock strength. Owing to the timeconsuming, tedious and expensive testing procedure of UCS, point load test (PLT) on irregular lump samples has appeared to be the best alternative test to ascertain rock strength, which can be performed on-site or off-site. …”
