Laboratory Testing Rock

  • Rock Direct Shear Test

 

This equipment is used in a geotechnical laboratory to determine the shear strength of rock or rock discontinuities. 

Function: To apply a normal load and shear load to a rock sample to determine the shear force required to cause failure along a predetermined shear plane.

  • Point Load Test (PLT)

 

This instrument is an index test used in geotechnical engineering to quickly assess the strength of rock samples. 

Function: To apply a concentrated load to a rock specimen and measuring the resulting failure load, providing an index of rock strength.
