Weathearability and/or the performance of the building stones in service are depend heavily on mineralogical composition, fabric, especially micro-fissure properties, and weathering state of rocks material. When cons idering the definition of the k-value, it is possible to say that the k-value can be used for characterizing the weathering state and weatherability of a rock. As decomposition of a mineral result in the formation of new minerals with lower k- value, the k-value of whole rocks is generally regarded as...
