Abstract

Weathering and durability are the key properties of the rock to evaluate the suitability and end-use for different kinds of applications such as building and construction material and engineering structures. Weathering is simply known as the alteration or breaking down of rocks due to air, water, etc. whereas durability of rock can be defined as the ability to resist the weathering to maintain the characteristics of strength under various environmental conditions. To evaluate the strength of rock, the degree of weathering and durability can be used as main indicators[1] as the measure of strength depends on the external force resistance.
