- W2186784489 abstract "Five crystalline basement rocks (porphyritic granite, migmatite, quartzite, granite gneiss and mica schist) located in the Ajaokuta area are investigated to evaluate their mechanical strength, physical and petrographic characteristics. Results illustrate that the migmatite has the highest uniaxial compressive strength (12.77N/mm2), and the micaceous quartzite has the minimum uniaxial compressive strength (2.85N/mm2). Other rocks in the area such as porphyritic granite, granite gneiss and mica schist have uniaxial compressive strength of 3.11N/mm2, 5.68 N/mm2 and 3.13N/mm2 respectively. There is a reasonable correlation between the mechanical and physical strengths parameters. Specifically, an increase in mechanical strength of the analysed rocks is analogous to an increase in specific gravity and dry density, and a decrease in porosity. Furthermore, rocks that are high in quartz and mica content, anisotropic, coarse-grained, and with micro-structural cracks and poorly interlocked mineral grains are characterized by lower mechanical strength values. The results of the study illustrate that the migmatite, quartzite and the granite gneiss are the most suitable for use as construction materials, and the porphyritic granite and mica schist are least suited." @default.
