Also known asmechanical weathering, physical weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces through physical processes such as wind, water, temperature changes, and pressure. This type of weathering is more effective on rocks with existing fractures, joints, or bedding planes. Common processes include...
Rocks exposed to atmospheric conditions are subjected to weathering processes driven by numerous factors especially precipitation. The slaking behavior attributed to water-induced weathering particularly affects rocks containing pore spaces, fractures, and joints. This study aims to impro...
The rock cores samples of NX size (54mm diameter) were extracted from bore holes drilled in the foundation area of different sites having rock type of Gneiss, Basalt, Granite and Quartzitic sand stone. Different rocks with variable mineral composition have wide range of moduli values. Statistical...

Three samples are tested for a coupled grade of permeability and a type of rocks. The results of Young's modulus test are shown in Table 1. Taking “Core 1-1” as an example, the relation curves of time-load and that of displacement-load are shown in Fig. 1. The Young's moduli of...
in the uppermost layers of soil where they create semi-permanent, horizontal burrows or under rocks and logs, though some will burrow deep into the soil. They typically only make an appearance on the ground surface in instances of heavy rain, as the extra moisture prevents them from drying ...
Mogi argued that this β value is nearly the same for all brittle rocks but we will test this assertion. The empirical criterion has the following formula(σ1−σ3)/2=f1[(σ1+βσ2+σ3)/2],where β is a constant smaller than 1. The form of the function f1 in Eq. (21) is ...

No matter what their type, most asteroids only ever appear as faint, starlike points with ground-based telescopes. Despite their stellar appearance from this distance, these rocks may hold the key to unlocking the secrets of how our solar system – including the Earth itself – may have formed...
