Abstract

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) was used to assess the link between P-wave velocity and engineering parameters in weathered limestone near Batu Caves, Selangor. This study specifically investigated the relationship between ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) and rock uniaxial compressive strength, utilizing Rebound Number and Uniaxial Compressive Strength (UCS) as quantitative measures. Samples, categorized as Grade II to Grade IV tropical weathered limestone, underwent X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis for elemental composition. Results showed varying correlations, with Grade II limestone exhibiting a weak relationship (R2 = 0.048), while Grade III and IV displayed stronger correlations (R2 = 0.7777 and 0.9347, respectively).
