Effects of microfissures on the engineering properties of the marble at Wadi Lisb, Saudi Arabia
Abstract The marble at Wadi Lisb was investigated in detail in order to assess its engineering properties and to examine the effect of the microfissures on these properties. The marble is white with some dark bands containing the microfissures and parallel to the regional foliation direction. The samples that are cut parallel to these dark bands have better physical and mechanical properties than those cut perpendicular to them. The general effect of the microfissures on Wadi Lisb marble is similar to their effect on Al Madrakah marble indicating a regional phenomenon. During the quarrying operation, it is recommended to take the direction of the microfissures in consideration and to correct for any deviation during the slapping process.
