Accelerated Weathering of Rocks.

Abstract

The project concerns correlation between weathering indices obtained from samples of one type of sedimentary rock (graywacke) and those obtained after laboratory agency tests of the same rocks. Study is made of the process of natural alteration in three stages. In laboratory thermal fatigue tests, the alteration by ageing is studied to obtain weatherability indices. Then, the two processes are compared, to compare laboratory and natural weathering correlation.
