Petrological and strength properties of granite in Johor

The study described in this paper is performed on igneous rock at Bukit Waha, Kota Tinggi, Johor. The texture and mineralogy of the granite and the physical properties of aggregates in terms of strength are assessed. This study aim to investigate and evaluate the influence of petrological of the roc...

The texture and mineralogy of the granite and the physical properties of aggregates in terms of strength are assessed.
