“…Furthermore, the obtained equation for PLT is in good agreement with the one derived by Read et al (1980). Similarly, the derived equation for UPV is somehow close to the obtained equation of Aldeeky and Al Hattamleh (2018), however, in their case the rock used was basalt. Finally, the obtained equation for SHRT is in fair agreement with the derived equation of Tandon and Gupta (2015), however they used quartzite rock.…”

This study investigated the aggregate suitability and geo-chemical characteristics of limestone (LS) for construction industries. The results of aggregate parameters for different applications revealed that specific gravity (SG = 2.6), water absorption (WA = 0.47%), bulk density (BD = 1.58 g/cm3), flakiness index (FI = 16.8%), elongation index (EI = 16.39%), soundness (S = 1.6%), aggregate impact value (AIV = 14%), Los Angles Abrasion value (LAAV = 23.51%), clay lumps (CL = 0.35%), uniaxial compressive strength (UCS = 86.7 MPa), point load test (PLT = 5.18 MPa), ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV = 5290 m/s) and Schmidt hammer rebound test (SHRT = 49 N) are in accordance with ASTM, ISRM and BSI. Petrographically, the LS is dominantly composed of ooids, peloids, bioclasts and calcite (CaCO3) with trace concentration of the dolomite. Geochemical results (n = 18) indicated that the LS is dominantly made up of calcite (95.81%); while on average it is composed of 52.08 wt.% CaO, 1.13 wt. % SiO2, 0.66 wt. %, MgO, 0.80 wt. % Al2O3, 0.76 wt. % Fe2O3 and LOI were recorded as 42.13 wt. %. Whereas, P2O5, TiO2, MnO, K2O and Na2O are found in trace amount. Regression analysis demonstrates that the empirical correlation equation for estimating uniaxial compressive strength with ultrasonic pulse velocity is more reliable than Schmidt hammer rebound test and point load test. The findings of this study strongly suggest LS of the area has a great potential as a raw material in construction industries.

“…Similarly, mafic rocks have higher UPV OD values (Figure 4e) with R 2 = 0.90 when compared to felsic rocks, as reported by Behn and Kelemen [47]. Aldeeky and Al Hattamleh [48], Ercikdi, et al [49], Gomez-Heras, et al [50], Selçuk and Nar [51], and Yılmaz, et al [52] stated that using UPV and thorough petrography could evaluate the fractures and compactness of rocks. Yılmaz, Ercikdi, Karaman, and Külekçi [52] found a link between specific gravity and UPV, demonstrating that compact rocks had higher UPV values.…”

This study examines the mineralogy, texture, and weathering grades of intrusive igneous rocks from northern Pakistan, as well as their impacts on physical and strength properties. In comparison to felsic rocks, mafic and intermediate rocks have lower cumulative proportions of quartz, feldspar, and plagioclase, as well as higher specific gravity, strength (i.e., UCS and R-value), and UPV values. Similarly, samples with anhedral grain shapes, irregular boundaries, and fine to medium grain sizes (UD, ANS, and CGN) exhibited greater strength values, with compressive strengths of 121, 118, and 91 MPa and tensile strengths of 11, 9, and 12 MPa, respectively. The physical and strength properties of the investigated samples corresponded well with the weathering grades assigned to them, such as fresh (WG-I), slightly weathered (WG-II), and highly weathered (WG-III). That is, as the grade increased from WG-I to WG-III, the porosity and water absorption increased (0.28% and 0.72%, respectively), whereas the specific gravity, compressive strength, and tensile strength decreased (2.04, 20, and 2.5 MPa, respectively, for CGA). Although the presence of quartz impacts rock strength, no significant association was found between the strength and the maximum and mean grain sizes of other minerals.

“…Other differences between the numerical samples and natural samples include (1) the numerical samples have a uniform pore size (Figure 1), which is not the case for natural samples (Figure 2), (2) the pores in our numerical samples are either circular or elliptical (Figure 1), whereas pores in natural samples can be oddly shaped (Figure 2), (3) volcanic rocks typically contain microcracks (Figure 2), which are not present in the numerical samples (Figure 1), and (4) all of the porosity in our numerical samples is isolated (Figure 1), whereas natural volcanic rocks can contain pores that are connected by other pores, pore throats, and microcracks; Figure 2).
