Engineering classification and index properties of a weathered granite
Summary A comprehensive range of classification, or index, and engineering design tests have been carried out on the seven stages of weathering of rock material recognised in the Hingston Down granite from east Cornwall, England. Interrelationships have been determined for all test results. It is concluded that the quick absorption, Schmidt hammer and point load strength tests are reliable and simple field tests for the determination of a quantitative weathering index. This quantitative weathering index can be related to visual determination of weathering stages of rock material, combinations of which can be used to categorize distinct weathering grades in the rock mass.
