... However, weathering in general is the process which brings about several changes to the properties of rock mass due to its exposure to changing environmental (physical, chemical and biological) conditions and hence from the engineering point of view, grading of weathering becomes very important. The alteration in the engineering properties of rocks due to weathering may occur at the material scale (rock strength, swelling potential, slaking index, compressibility, consolidation characteristics etc.) and/or mass scale (discontinuities, fracture, joint, settlement, permeability etc.), as reported in the literature [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Moreover, behavior of the weathered rocks depends upon the environmental conditions, which it is further exposed to. ...
