Amendment No. 1 December 2006 TO Is 8764: 1998 Method For Determination of Point Load Strength Index of Rocks

This document summarizes Amendment No. 1 from December 2006 to IS 8764:1998, which provides the method for determining the point load strength index of rocks. The amendment substitutes the existing formulas on pages 6 for calculating the point load strength index using a standard core size of 50mm and for non-standard sizes. It also adds a note to clauses 7.2 and 7.4 stating that the correlations are approximate for classifying rock masses and are valid mainly for unweathered isotropic rocks.

Free amendment provided by BIS via BSB Edge Private Limited to Surat([email protected]) 103.131.184.3
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.
