TO
IS 8764 : 1998 METHOD FOR DETERMINATION OF
POINT LOAD STRENGTH INDEX OF ROCKS

( Farsi Rnisioll )
(Page 6, clause 7.1.1) - Substitute the following for the existingformula:
p
I, (SO) =

where

1.(50) = point loadstrength index in MPa(forthestandard coresize),

P = failure load in N,
D = corediameter in nun, and
Dso =standard core diameter (50 mm).

(Page 6, clause 7.3) - Substitute the following fortheexisting formula:

P
IL (SO) == - - - - -
(Dr¥)°·7S ~ D so
where

P = peak loadin N at failure,

(D W) = the minimum cross sectional area passing through point loads in
mm2,
IL (SO) = pointloadlump sttength index in MPa,
Dso =standard size of lump (SO nun),
D =distance betweenpoint loads in mm, and
W =average width of minimum cross sectional area in mm.
(Page 6, clause 7.4, last line) - Delete 'This - - - only' and insert the
following Note:
NOTE- The correlations in 7.2 and 7.4 are approximate for the purpose of cluaificatian
of rock mu. . and validfor mainlyunweath«ed and ilOtrOpic rocks.
