Miocene limestone, widely distributed sedimentary rock in Sri Lanka is a highly porous and permeable rock and not a strong rock. But some highly consolidated and compacted parts are strong [8]. The previous soundness test results for fine aggregates of different rock types were obtained using crusher dusts.
The Ancient City of Sigiriya. Sigiriya is one of the most astounding remnants of a past Sri Lankan civilization. The name of the huge rock itself translates to English as the Lion's Rock, because of the enormous Lion's Paw that was carved by the entrance guarding the way in.

The rock mass cohesion values and friction angles were derived from SSPC aligned with the literature and were reliable for weathered metamorphic rock masses in Sri Lanka. The current study recommends the SSPC orientation-dependent analysis for conducting a rapid and preliminary assessment of slope stability in structurally controlled …
The quality of construction works in Civil Engineering largely depends on the properties of materials. The properties of rock aggregates depend upon the natural conditions of different rock types. It has been understood that the changes of engineering properties in different rock types may be related to the rock texture. Therefore, studies …
