Excerpt

I carefully read the technical note entitled “Point Load Test on Meta-Sedimentary Rocks and Correlation to UCS and BTS” by Diyuan Li and Lous Ngai Yuen Wong, Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering, DOI: 10.​1007/​s00603-012-0299-x. The paper aims to establish the relationship between point load strength and uniaxial compressive and indirect tensile strength of meta-sedimentary rocks. I think the study is valuable for application of the point load test in practice, since the test is cheap, easy, accessible, and simple in comparison with the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and Brazilian tensile strength (BTS) tests. However, I would like to make some comments on both the dataset and data analysis process used. …
