A quantitative petrofabric characterization of metamorphic rocks
Abstract Adequate and reliable estimation of the nature of rocks is a primary requirement in engineering geology. Of crucial concern in the characterization of metamorphic rocks in particular is their intrinsic anisotropic fabric, foliation. The degree of foliation has been assessed in terms of a proposed quantitative foliation index involving micropetrographic modal and shape factor analyses. This approach improves the accurate identification and description of metamorphic rocks and provides a reliable basis for the estimation of the behavioural aspects of rock anisotropy in engineering geology.
