From this, suggestions are made for classification schemes designating rock quality for mapping and core logging.<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>The results of fieldwork and laboratory studies on weathered rocks mainly from the Dart-moor area, S.W. England, are given. Several different rock types, including granite, dolerite, limestone and mudstone, have been classified on the weathering scale, tested in the field by point loading and Schmidt hammer, and laboratory determinations of strength and porosity made. The results show clear trends of decreasing strength and fracture spacing with increased weathering and general conclusions and observations on engineering weathering classifications have been drawn. In early stages of weathering it appears that there is a general increase of fractures per unit volume and in later stages of weathering there is a rapid increase in chemical decay. In addition, geometrical distributions of weathering in fold and fault situations have been examined.<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>The full implications of Tertiary warm climate weathering and Quaternary cold climate weathering are not yet clear.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1144\/gsl.qjeg.1971.004.03.01","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,9,28]],"date-time":"2007-09-28T01:26:34Z","timestamp":1190942794000},"page":"139-185","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":132,"title":["Some engineering aspects of rock weathering with field examples from Dartmoor and elsewhere"],"prefix":"10.1144","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Peter George","family":"Fookes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"3 Hartley Down, Purley, Surrey (formerly Imperial College, Engineering Geology Division)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"William Robert","family":"Dearman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Reader in Engineering Geology, Department of Geology, University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John Allan","family":"Franklin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Soil Mechanics Ltd., 65, Old Church Street, London S.W.3."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1881","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","first-page":"1","volume-title":"Meded.
