Point Load Test - Work Sheet: e 2 2 e S S

This document contains the results of 20 point load tests conducted on rock core samples from borehole THM-15 of the Tauhara Subsidence Project. The tests were conducted at depths between 107.75 meters and 156.35 meters. Both diametral and axial tests were performed, with failure types recorded as either perpendicular or parallel to planes of weakness. Measurements of the sample diameter, width, and gauge reading were recorded to calculate the point load strength for each test.
