Geomechanical Assessment Model of Rocks Quality | Chapter 4 | Current Approaches in Science and Technology Research Vol. 1

 When rocks are subjected to various actions, geomechanical assessment of rocks necessitates understanding of events that occur under the impact of internal and external causes on a macroscopic or microscopic scale. Knowing the geological and physical–mechanical features of rocks is essential for elucidating their quantitative and qualitative geomechanical behavior. 15 different types of igneous rocks were identified using mineralogical, petrographical, and chemical investigations (gabbro, diabases, granites, diorites, rhyolites, andesites, and basalts), There are two types of rocks: plutonic and volcanic. These are then classified as acidic, neutral (intermediate), or basic magmatites. A novel ranking approach is proposed, based on the use of rock properties as quantitative assessment indicators and a grading system based on supplied points that allows the rocks to be grouped into acceptability groups. This work is a comprehensive geo-mechanical examination of magmatic rocks representing a wide range of variations; it is divided into two parts: experimental and interpretation of experimental data, demonstrating the methodology for evaluating igneous rock quality.  sorts of rocks Using this evaluation technique, it is possible to determine the particular parameters of rock quality standards, such as conformity and unconformity degrees, as well as the level of safety that these rocks may provide if employed in the construction field as aggregates or construction materials. The proposed method is an adequate instrument for evaluating and verifying the requirements for the quality of rocks used in construction. The final section provides a geomechanical evaluation model-based general classification of the examined magmatic rocks.
