ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: Durability is the one factor that has proven to be of utmost concern in the cost of rock for erosion control. Three areas of knowledge having the greatest effect on selecting a durable product if properly utilized are (1) intrinsic rock properties, (2) quarrying techniques, and (3) weathering processes. A correlation between rock properties and durability may improve the results of the exploration efforts. Employment of proper quarrying techniques may result in production of a more durable stone. Knowledge of the relationship between weathering processes and both rock properties and quarrying techniques will lead to a more durable stone product.
