The data obtained have been used to deduce a geological model for the prediction of rock conditions from an engineering geological plan of the quarry. The economic implications of the distribution of weathering grades are considered from the aspects of practical quarrying grades related to the criteria of material quality and ease of excavation.

The influence of geological factors on quarry design J.A. Hudson Department of Earth Science and Engineering, Imperial College London, UK ABSTRACT: Geological factors on both the small and large scales are of utmost importance in quarry design: in particular, the intact rock anisotropy, the rock fractures, the in situ rock stress, and the hydrogeological regime can have major impacts.
