Weathering Classification

Weathering Classification is a systematic method within rock mass classification that categorizes rock materials based on the degree and type of chemical, physical, and biological degradation they have undergone, distinguishing it from other rock characterization approaches by focusing specifically on the extent and nature of weathering-induced changes to rock properties.
