Cost reduction of quality controlling in metal quarrying

Basnayaka, LR; Samarathunga, SPGN; Susantha, TKJ; Nawaneethan, M; Wickrama, MADMG; Samaradiwakara, GVI; Dassanayake, ABN [Conference-Full-text]

Quality controlling of aggregates is a major concern in aggregate industry. Cost of quality controlling can be minimized via finding correlations between different test on aggregates and rocks. Los Angeles abrasion value ...
Determination of uniaxial compressive strength using point load index of high grade metamorphic rocks from western Sri Lanka

Thushanthan, K; Udayantha, BVM; Chathuranga, SAKS; Dissanayaka, VAKA; Karunananthasivam, L; Jayasekara, JMEPK; Puswawela, UGA; Samaradivakara, GVI [Conference-Full-text]

This research is focused on finding the correlation of unconfined compressive strength (UCS) with Point load Index (PLI) of gneissic rocks, and to propose proper correlating value, based on a study carried out for Sri ...
Suitability of light coloured silicate metamorphic rocks of Sri Lanka in construction industry

Karunathilaka, JKWPC; Karunarathne, S; Rohitha, LPS [Conference-Full-text]

Conventionally, in the local construction industry, darker coloured (melanocratic) rocks are preferred over light coloured (leucocratic) rocks without proper scientific reasoning. Hence, the objective of the study is to ...
Use of the block punch and point load tests to predict the compressive strength of gneissic rocks, with particular reference to the size effect

Pitawela, EWMHRB; Priyan, SPD; Kumara, HMAP; Vijayarathan, K; Maduranga, HGS; Dassanayake, ABN [Conference-Full-text]

Various correlations have been established with regard to rock strength indices for different types of rocks around the world. In Sri Lanka, having several types of sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, least attempt has been ...
