Which of the following parameters is directly measured in the Point Load Test?
A. Tensile strength
B. Uniaxial compressive strength
C. Point load index
D. Modulus of elasticity
Answer: Option C
Solution (By Examveda Team)
The Point Load Test gives the point load index, which can be correlated with compressive strength but is not directly equal to it.This Question Belongs to Geological Engineering >> Rock Mechanics And Rock Engineering
