| Abstract: | This technical note introduces the point load test as a means of providing a strength index useful in dredging applications. Since this test was originally developed for hard rock index testing, its use for the weak and saturated rock typical of many coastal deposits requires special procedures. This note is not intended as a self-contained instruction for performing point load tests. Rather, it supplements previously published standard procedures. The reader should refer to the referenced publications as recommended herein. |
