This paper presents significant correlations of the Bond parameter (work index, Wi and grindability, G) and the breakage parameters (specific rate of breakage, Si and the fineness value, γ) with the point load index (Is(50)). The experimental results obtained from calcite, barite, colemanite and bauxite samples have demonstrated that the Bond and breakage parameters were closely correlated with the point load index. That is, the values of G, Si and aT parameters decreased with the increase in the values of the point load index; however, the γ parameter of Bi,j increased with increasing Is(50) values.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
