Weathering of the massiac gneiss (massif central, France)

Influence of Weathering on the Engineering Properties of Dacites in Northeastern Turkey

“…Many researchers [5][6][7][8][9][10] have investigated variations in index properties during the weathering of granitic rocks, and similar observations on the weathering characteristics of metamorphic rocks have been made [11][12][13]. In addition, several researchers have explored the effects of weathering on sedimentary rocks [14][15][16][17][18].…”

Above the weathering front: contrasting approaches to the study and classification of weathered mantle

“…These mechanisms were then related to potential engineering applications and problems. Dobereiner et al (1993) studied a weathering profile in gneiss during construction of the A75 motorway in the Massif Central in France. Gneissic weathering profiles are rarely described in the literature, partly because of their structural complexity and material anisotropy, so the authors first summarized previous work.…”
