Abstract

This introductory chapter deals with the significance and field Classification of weathering profiles in different important rock types. For a first description of rocks and soils in engineering geology, the distinction of 5 stages of weathering (apart from fresh parent rock) are recommended. The term “degree” of weathering should be used for more quantitative to semi-quantitative characterisations.
