Rock - Point load strength test - Franklin test 140 experimental

The Franklin test is a resistance test that consists of breaking rock fragments of any shape, or from cores, between two conical pieces with spherical termination. The thickness of the samples between these two points can vary from 25 to 100 mm. This test is generally carried out on a large number of specimens (at least 10, in particular in the case of heterogeneity or anisotropy).

fr L'essai Franklin est un essai de résistance qui consiste à rompre des fragments de roche de forme quelconque, ou provenant de carottages, entre deux pièces coniques à terminaison sphérique. L'épaisseur des échantillons entre ces deux pointes peut varier de 25 à 100 mm. Cet essai est réalisé en général sur un grand nombre d'éprouvettes (au moins 10, notamment en cas d'hétérogénéité ou d'anisotropie).
