“…The joint spacing in highly weathered rocks is more as compared to slightly weathered which make the rock mass weaker. The changes in the nature, appearance and mineralogical composition along the joint surfaces with increasing weathering grade have also been reported (Ehlen, 2002). The thorough investigations of weathering grade and changes associated with it are important in the precise rock mass classification which result in the accurate engineering design.…”

“…Major minerals including plagioclase and orthoclase are altered to less resilient Apart from influencing the mineralogy and chemical composition of minerals, the weathering intensity also influences the frequency, length, and appearance of joints on the granite surface (Ehlen, 2002). The joint spacing in highly weathered rocks is more as compared to slightly weathered which make the rock mass weaker.…”

“…The most common classifications are based on simple geological descriptions (macroscopic observations such as discoloration, staining and mineral alteration) (Clayton and Arnold, 1972;Durgin, 1977;IAEG, 1981;ISRM, 1981a,b;Anonymous, 1995;Rao, 1998, 2000;Ehlen, 2002). Lan et al (2003) reported the following methods for classifying degrees of weathering: (1) a geological descriptionbased method including visual observations, (2) a single index method with a point load test and wave velocity, and (3) a comprehensive method; that is, an integrated quantitative index based on various factors.…”

“…Выветривание силикатных пород контро-лируется многими факторами, например, природой и составом ранее существовавших пород, преобла-дающими климатическими условиями, тектонической обстановкой, трещинообразованием, раститель-ностью, рельефом, уровнем CO 2 и биологической активностью [Kump et al, 2000;Ehlen, 2002Ehlen, , 2005Islam et al, 2002;Migon, Thomas, 2002]. Взаимосвязь между материалом материнской породы и вторич-ными глинистыми минералами может помочь установить различную степень выветривания.…”
