Correlation of uniaxial compressive strength between UCT and point load index of rock in Klang Valley

Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) is one of the most important properties of rock that are widely used in geotechnical field. Since, the direct method to obtain UCS is expensive; Point Load Test (PLT) is the most commonly used method to estimate UCS. There are several general conversion factor sug...
