"CALCULATION OF SAFE BEARING CAPACITY BASED ON POINT LOAD VALUES & UNIAXIAL COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH & THEIR RELATIONSHIP"
It is very essential to study the engineering properties of a different kind of Rock and predict their behavior in different geological conditions, before taking up any construction. This will help in making economical/optimal design structures as well as helps in recommending measures for preventing from the functional failure of structures, especially, when the rock consists of different discontinuities and weathered in nature. In this study, different rock samples from the Deccan Trap collected and tested in the laboratory for the uniaxial compressive test (UCS) and point Load test. Based on the UCS values different civil structures' safe bearing capacity has been calculated (e.g.-piers and abuts). This study reveals that discontinuity; the texture of rocks and weathering conditions affect the safe bearing capacity of basalt. Based on Point load test of samples and from different locations have a varied value of safe bearing capacity, (e.g. sample 01-37.8; sample 02-35.4; sample 03-24.7; sample 04-22.3; sample 05-24.9; etc.) Based on the uniaxial Compressive Strength test of samples and from different locations have a varied value of safe bearing capacity, (e.g. sample 01-166; sample 02-201.5; sample 03-232; sample 04-206.49; sample 05-245; etc.) The present study helps in understanding the different sample from different location of the basalt rock has varied values of safe bearing capacity, these samples tell us that we cannot consider one specific safe bearing capacity for the basalt rock in general. It can be sometimes higher than the standard value and sometimes it can be significantly lower than the standard value. It has been found through the study that the safe bearing capacity for different samples is different which can be ascribed to the weathering, physical activities, mineral composition, cavities in the rock, fault, etc. Shariful Islam (Geologist) (talk) 20:28, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
