In this study, landslide susceptibility mapping using a completely expert opinion-based
approach was applied for the Sinop (northern Turkey) region and its close vicinity. For this …

This paper presents a comparative evaluation of efficacies of different index tests and
analysis techniques (ie regression analyses and fuzzy inference system) in predicting …

The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of rock is an important geotechnical parameter for
engineering applications. However, how to determine the UCS simply and accurately has …

Microcracking induced by wide fluctuations in temperature affects granite quality and
durability, making the stone more vulnerable to decay. Determining the extent of that effect is …

The main goal of this study is to develop some prediction models for the UCS of six different
granitic rocks selected from Turkey. During the modeling stage of the study, various …

Natural stones are exposed to physical weathering due to freeze–thaw (F–T) and thermal
shock (TS) when they are used as pavement, cladding and masonry material. In this study …

The purpose of this research is to construct predictive models to estimate the uniaxial
compressive strength (UCS) of grainstone, wackestone-mudstone, boundstone, gypsum …

Mayotte is a French Overseas Territory of the Comoros archipelago. Since the 1980, Mayotte
has developed quickly: its population has multiplied by four in less than 30years …

In this research, several physico-mechanical properties are measured on three types of
Alvand granitoid rocks across five weathering grades ranging from fresh to completely …

The greatest factor that threatens the integrity of stone monuments, which are the shared
heritage of humanity, is the effects of weathering. This process causes different forms and …
