TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied correlation analysis to investigate the relationships between petrographical and engineering properties of granitic rocks, and found that the influence of the textural characteristics on the engineering properties appears to be more important than the mineralogy.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of mainly mechanical weathering on the granodiorites, granites and quartz diorites of the Cavusbasi area of northwest Turkey are described, the samples having been taken from cores and field exposures.

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed investigation was carried out on basalts in the road cuttings of the Niksar ring road and Unye-Akkus-Niksar highway alignments.

TL;DR: In this paper, the characteristics of weathering zones of various granitic rocks in the south of Malaysia were investigated using detailed field observations at the mentioned quarries followed by analysis, and the authors presented an amalgamated picture of the typical weathering profiles in granitic profiles of a tropical region like Malaysia.

TL;DR: In this article, the changes in engineering properties due to weathering were evaluated and the most suitable parameters for characterizing the degree of weathering of the studied dunites are loss-on-ignition values, specific gravity, unit weights, water absorption, effective porosity, uniaxial compressive strength, P-wave velocity, and slake-durability index.
