Physical and mechanical properties of rock for engineering purposes are indispensable for any civil/construction, mining and other engineering requirment. The results of the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) test are very much needed in various geotechnical analyzes or engineering, in particular in the mining industry in relation to the calculation of the pit slope design and other mining infrastructure. Rock samples used in this study were obtained from the results of geotechnical drilling (full core drilling). The rock engineering properties test to obtain UCS and PLI values was carried out in the laboratory. Testing the rock hardness index using the point load index (PLI) can be done more quickly, cheaply, practically and can use rock samples with a variety of sample shapes.         The focus and object of the research are mudstone and sandstone units as part of the Lati Formation. These two types of layers are the most dominant rock types as a constituent of the pit slopes in the research area. To ensure that the correlation results are in accordance with the rules of scientific research, the distribution of UCS and PLI data from laboratory test results is verified using a statistical approach / testing. Correlation and analysis between the two rock engineering properties test results are very useful for geotechnical analysis data input. The coefficient or constant values obtained can be used to determine the rock strength values used in various geotechnical analyzes so that the analysis can be carried out more efficiently, effectively and quickly and can support geotechnical engineering work.

Abstract Aggregates are necessary materials for the construction industry. Owing to their favourable properties, andesites are frequently used rock materials; hence, the investigation of their mechanical and aggregate properties has great significance. This paper introduces the analyses of 13 Hungarian andesite lithotypes. The samples were collected from six andesite quarries in Hungary. Cylindrical specimens and aggregate samples with 10.0/14.0-mm-sized grains were made from rock blocks. The specimens were tested in dry, water-saturated and freeze–thaw subjected conditions. Bulk density, uniaxial compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, indirect tensile strength and water absorption were measured. The abrasion resistance was tested by micro-Deval tests. The flakiness indexes of the samples were also measured. The data set of the laboratory test results provided input for further, one- and two-variable statistical analyses. According to the test results, there is no significant difference between the strength parameters measured in water-saturated and in freeze–thaw subjected conditions. The correlation and regression analyses revealed relationships between some rock mechanical parameters, as well as between micro-Deval coefficient and uniaxial compressive strength.

Engineering properties of tropical weathered granite mass have been widely investigated and classified for engineering purposes. However, the engineering properties of tropical boulder in weathered granite profile is poorly understood and not well classified. This study aims to examine and classify the physico-mechanical properties of granite boulder in completely weathered zone. A total of 34 in-situ boulders were examined from two granite quarries located in Southern Johor, Malaysia. Microstructure-mineralogical alterations were analyzed based on petrographic analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The mechanical properties were including dry density, porosity, point load strength, uniaxial compressive strength and permeability. Three properties were identified as significant indicators to differentiate between tropical boulder and completely weathered granite when it is evaluated from the soil investigation drilling work namely; texture characteristics, discolourations and degree of weathering. Analysis revealed that the alteration of microstructures and minerals such as feldspar, biotite, and plagioclase from corestone (Grade I/II) to saprolite (Grade IV/V) zone were significantly reduced the dry density, point load strength, uniaxial compressive strength and permeability with 32%, 99.5%, 98.6% and 84.8%, respectively. It has also significantly increased the porosity up to 11.6 times or 1065% from corestone to saprolite. The significant different of physico-mechanical properties of material surrounding boulder due to weathering can be classified and useful in evaluation of geotechnical design and geological engineering applications.

The direct roof of B132 coal seam is conglomerate layer in a coal mine, which is cemented with gravels and sandstones and has brought great difficulty for tunnel supporting. It is necessary to study the grain size and strength characteristics of gravel in conglomerate layer for the mining of B132 coal seam safely and efficiently. The statistics and analysis of grain-size characteristics of gravel was carried out in this paper, including of the quantity and volume percent of gravel. Uniaxial compressive strength of gravel was tested with point load method. The test results show that uniaxial compressive strength of gravel is very high, especially the black gravels, whose compressive strength is commonly above 200 MPa and the highest even can reach more than 300 MPa.

Early Phases

Determining the uniaxial compressive strength of intact rock is the primary objective of a geomechanical project, and a reliable estimate in the early phases saves time and costs for more sophisticated laboratory tests. The problem is knowing which of the correlations between the resistance to uniaxial compression and point load index are reliable, those that cover one or several types of rock (depending on the type of statistical adjustment). In this work, they were evaluated with respect to limestone and travertine from experimental results, and the statistical models of the scale effect of the point load index were determined, and the uniaxial compressive strength being estimated from correlations reported in literature. The limestone model was ascending (strength increases as diameter increases), while the travertine model was descending (strength decreases as diameter increases), obtaining similar exponents for the scale effect equations modeled from the uniaxial compressive strength and point load index in both cases.

Point Load Index

Nilai Uniaxial Compressive Strength adalah gambaran dari nilai tegangan maksimum yang dapat ditanggung sebuah contoh batuan sesaat sebelum contoh batuan tersebut hancur. Hal tersebut merupakan informasi penting dalam menentukan kekuatan dan karakteristik suatu batuan baik massa batuan maupun batuan utuh yang didapat dengan pengujian menggunakan alat UCS. Pada penelitian ini dibuat suatu alternatif dalam menentukan nilai UCS secara instan, yaitu dengan menggunakan Point Load Index dan Schmidt Hammer. Point Load Index dan Schmidt Hammer dinilai sangat mudah dan efektif dalam pengujiannya karena dapat digunakan langsung pada lereng penambangan. Alternatif ini didapat dengan membuat hubungan antara Point Load Index dengan nilai UCS serta Schmidt Hammer terhadap litologi batubara terkhusus pada seam batubara A2 dan C, yang berlokasi pada pit 3 timur banko barat, Sumatera Selatan, pada formasi Muara Enim.
