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, a model for the weathering of limestones is established and modifications proposed to the material and mass weathering schemes for characterisation of the limestone for engineering uses, as both foundation and construction material.

TL;DR: In this paper, the physico-mechanical properties of limestones of different compositions and textures were determined and the results were compared with those from standard aggregate tests, and the relationships between all parameters were described by simple regression analyses.

TL;DR: In this article, the analyses and geotechnical testing of sandstones taken from a road cutting to the north east of Istanbul, Turkey, is described, and the slake durability test provided the closest correlation with weathering grade.

TL;DR: The effect of aqueous 10% povidone-iodine versus aqueously 4% chlorhexidine gluconate on the risk of surgical site infection in patients who required surgery for an open fracture is compared.
