Engineering characterisation of weathered granite: phase 1 / Prof Ir Zainab Mohamed

The continuous tropical weathering effects on the granite rocks' physical and mechanical decomposition and deterioration as compared to its fresh state is very obvious and significant from the rearch study conducted. The laboratory study on the engineering properties of weathered granite had sh...

description The continuous tropical weathering effects on the granite rocks' physical and mechanical decomposition and deterioration as compared to its fresh state is very obvious and significant from the rearch study conducted. The laboratory study on the engineering properties of weathered granite had showed a significant decrease in its relative strength and durability. The factors and causes of relative increase and decrease in its properties was discussed in the report. The stress-strain profiles of weathered granite differ very much from its intact fresh sample. However, the engineering characterisation index from phase I scope of study need to be further looks indepth by carrying out more sampling and testing so as the probability of overlapping data tabulated can be further investigated.
