The mountains in the eastern region of southern Africa are of significant regional importance, providing for a diverse range of land use including conservation, tourism and subsistence agriculture. The higher regions are comprised of flood basalts and are immediately underlain by predominantly aeolian-origin sandstones. Our understanding of the weathering of these basalts and sandstones is reviewed here, with particular focus on the insights gained from the Lesotho Highlands Water Project and an ongoing study into the deterioration of rock art. While the chemical weathering attributes of the basalts have been substantially investigated, it is evident that the environmental surface conditions of rock moisture and temperature, as affecting weathering processes, remain largely unknown. Within the sandstones, studies pertaining to rock art deterioration present insights into the potential surface weathering processes and highlight the need for detailed field monitoring. Outside of these site-specific studies, however, little is understood of how weathering impacts on landscape development; notably absent, are detail on weathering rates, and potential effects of biological weathering. Some palaeoenvironmental inferences have also been made from weathering products, both within the basalts and the sandstones, but aspects of these remain controversial and further detailed research can still be undertaken. 相似文献

The investigated rock material belongs to the group of upper cretaceous quader sandstones which are very important construction stones in Poland and Germany. The mineral composition of the rocks is relatively uniform??they are quartzose sandstones. The most important feature is their good workability and comparatively high weathering resistance. Still, regardless of the apparent resemblance, the observations carried on buildings and monuments show differences in weathering processes. The undertaken test was an attempt to verify the proposed before rock classification, performed on the basis of parameterization of porosimetric cumulative intrusion volume curves. The aim of the experiment was the evaluation of the sandstone petrography (including the structure, texture and porosity of the rock) influence on the weathering process. The modelling of accelerated weathering was conducted in Chamber for Ageing Acceleration, where some weather circumstances were simulated (insolation, rain and frost). As the result of the weathering experiment it could be stated that the dominant mechanism of the sandstones deterioration was granular disintegration and weight loss as a consequence of sample destruction. The most important factor influencing rock deterioration is rock texture, especially the character of grain contacts. The effective porosity is a requisite of potential for the stone to take in and hold water, and hence of resistance to weathering. In case of silica-cemented sandstones, the deciding criterion influencing weathering resistance is pore structure. In case of sandstones with clay cement, the most important is mineral composition of the rock. 相似文献

Salt and ice crystallisation in porous sandstones 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Salt and ice crystallisation in the pore spaces causes major physical damage to natural building stones. The damaging effect
of these processes can be traced back to physically induced stress inside of the rock while crystallizing. The increasing
scientific research done during the past century has shown that there are numerous parameters that have an influence on the
weathering resulting from these processes. However, the working mechanisms of the stress development within the rock and its
material dependency are still subject to discussion. This article gives an overview of salt and ice weathering. Additionally,
laboratory results of various sandstones examined are presented. Salt crystallisation tests and freeze/thaw tests were done
to obtain information about how crystallisation weathering depends on material characteristics such as pore space, water transportation,
and mechanical features. Simultaneous measuring of the length alternating during the salt and ice crystallisation has revealed
detailed information on the development of crystal in the pore spaces as well as the development of stress. These findings
can help to understand the damaging mechanisms. 相似文献

Sandstones, clay in the form of bricks and laterite are the building materials used by the Khmer to construct the imposing and magnificent temples in Southeast Asia. Many of these monuments suffer from fracturing, sanding, contour scaling, crust formation and salt weathering. The affinity to weathering is closely connected to the type of material. Two sandstone types classified as feldspathic arenite and quartz arenite of Angkor as well as two arkosic sandstones from Thailand are described and investigated in this study. Important petrophysical properties determined for the different sandstones consist of hydric expansion, thermal expansion, pore radii distribution and ultrasonic velocity. Different investigations such as capillary water uptake, surface hardness, hygroscopic water sorption, and salt resistance tests were undertaken in the laboratory to characterize the various rock types. Observations and quantified damage mapping were done onsite at the Phnom Bakheng Temple. Contour scaling in the form of weathering crusts is one of the main deterioration features observable at the Angkor monuments. Comparisons are made between the building stone, the crust material from the Phnom Bakheng Temple and fresh stone material used for restoration. Significant differences in hydric and especially in thermal expansion of the crust and sandstone have been determined. The results seem to indicate that extensional processes occur, which can be considered a force for detachment (i.e., contour scaling, flaking). In an experimental trial, the hydric and thermal expansion of the weathering crust and the building stone was significantly reduced by using a weak acid for the crust and a swelling inhibitor for the original building stone. 相似文献

云冈石窟砂岩特性与岩石风化试验 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
侏罗纪期间河相沉积而成的巨大砂岩透镜体是云冈石窟遗产载体,在目前环境条件下,石窟砂岩风化破坏非常严重。通过现场调查表明,在不同细分层位,砂岩破坏特征与其沉积环境及沉积构造密切相关。进一步对不同风化程度样品进行测试,以此建立起风化评估依据,结果表明,该砂岩化学风化主要体现在胶结物流失、长石蚀变,而次生可溶盐结晶及冻融形成的物理破坏也不应该忽视。通过风化模拟试验可知：酸的溶蚀对石窟岩体表面造成直接破坏;同时,形成的可溶盐将导致砂岩出现由内而外劣化现象;由于岩石的孔隙率低、渗透性较差且胶结密实,岩石抵抗冻融作用相对较强。建议云冈石窟目前保护措施以治水为主,通过减少崖壁表面渗水、洞窟裂隙渗水及底部泥岩泛潮来减少上述劣化作用效应。 相似文献

Sandstone weathering processes damaging prehistoric rock paintings at the Albarracin Cultural Park, NE Spain 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The rock paintings in cliff-foot caves of the Albarracin Cultural Park are known as some of the most important evidences of the Levantine prehistoric art of Spain (8000–3000 BP). The paintings are on sandstone (Buntsandstein facies) of Triasic age, which may develop intense weathering. The analysis of the variables controlling the weathering indicate that salt and wetting-drying weathering are responsible for granular disintegration and flaking, which lead to rock painting deterioration. 相似文献

碳酸盐岩差异性风化成土特征及其对石漠化形成的影响 总被引：35，自引：0，他引：35
碳酸盐岩极低的酸不溶物含量使岩石风化产生的残积土壤物质数量极少，并产生巨大的体积缩小，促使早期形成的残积土在重力作用下不断向下塌陷。显著的差异性风化使基岩面强烈起伏，甚至形成大量的岩溶尘洼地、裂隙、地下管道、洞穴系统等。在重力和水的作用下，土粒沿垂直和水平方向上经微距离或短距离搬运到上述低洼或地下空间中，甚至由地下河带到更远的地方，这是碳酸盐岩地区土壤丢失的重要方式，也是形成石漠化最主要的地质因素。土壤在地表分布高度不均匀，是碳酸盐岩地区的地表少土的重要原因。对于酸不溶物含量相当的石灰岩和白云岩而言，由于白云岩的差异性风化明显弱于石灰岩，以及受各种应力作用后，白云岩形成的节理及裂隙密集而均匀，从而提高了近地表白云岩的含水能力，延长了风化过程中的水－岩反应时间，使风化作用可以相对集中于地表或近地表进行，有利于岩石的整体风化作用的进行，同时使白云岩风化壳基岩面起伏相对较小，风化残积形成的土壤分布也相对均匀。因此，白云岩区地表土层较厚，石漠化程度也稍弱于灰岩区。 相似文献

Sandstones of Punagarh basin of Trans Aravalli region, NW Indian shield were analyzed for their major and trace element contents in conjunction with petrographic modes. The Punagarh basin comprises four formations (Sojat, Bambolai, Khamal and Sowania), amongst which the Sojat Formation in uncoformable contact with overlying formations, is significantly older and enjoys separate status as rest of the formations constitute Punagarh Group. Petrographic attributes suggest that Sojat sandstones contain distinct modal abundances like high content of quartz and low content of feldspar, mica, matrix, rock fragments and cement. In general there is a decrease in the average modal abundance of quartz and mica with concomitant increase of feldspar, chert and rock fragments from base to top in Punagarh sandstones. Sojat sandstones are also geochemically distinct as they possess high SiO2/Al2O3, Th/U and Cr/Th ratios coupled with lowest Na2O/K2O ratio and Zr content, least fractionated LREE, more fractionated HREE and largest Eu* anomaly compared to Punagarh sandstones. The weathering indices suggest intense chemical weathering for Sojat sandstones and low to moderate for Punagarh sandstones. Compositionally all the sandstones of the Punagarh basin come under the category of quartzarenite. Compared to PAAS and UCC, both suite of sandstones are generally depleted in REE, HFSE (with exception of Zr, Hf and Ta), and enriched in ferromagnesian trace elements particularly Cr and Co. The chemical data indicate that the sediments were derived from the source(s) of mixed felsic - mafic composition, with the former being dominant. The source rocks were granites, TTG, basalts, and rhyolites. The Sojat sandstones owe their source form Archean crust while Punagarh sandstones got detritus from Mesoproterozic crust. Immobile element ratios and REE abundances of Sojat sandstones closely match with Paleoproterozoic metagreywackes of Ghana of African craton while Punagarh sandstones show near geochemical characteristic with Gogunda, Kumbalgarh and Vindhyan quartzites of Aravalli craton. This geochemical similarity of Sojat sandstones provides credence to the hypothesis that Trans–Aravalli region of India had been an integral part of Arabian - Nubian shield. The chemical data advocate the deposition of these sandstones in a tectonic setting comparable to modern back arc setting. 相似文献

Two weathering profiles evolved on peneplain-related granites in Sierra Norte, Córdoba province, were examined. Several weathering levels, of no more than 2 m thickness, were studied in these profiles. They had developed from similar parent rock, which had been exposed to hydrothermal processes of varying intensity. Fracturing is the most notable feature produced by weathering; iron oxides and silica subsequently filled these fractures, conferring a breccia-like character to the rock. The clay minerals are predominantly illitic, reflecting the mineral composition of the protolith. Smaller amounts of interstratified I/S RO type are also present, as well as scarce caolinite+chlorite that originated from the weathering of feldspar and biotite, respectively. The geochemical parameters define the weathering as incipient, in contrast to the geomorphological characteristics of Sierra Norte, which point to a long weathering history. This apparent incompatibility could be due to the probable erosion of the more weathered levels of the ancient peneplains, of which only a few relicts remain. Similar processes have been described at different sites in the Sierras Pampeanas. Reconstruction and dating of the paleosurfaces will make it possible to set time boundaries on the weathering processes studied and adjust the paleographic and paleoclimatic interpretations of this great South American region. 相似文献

江西石城国家地质公园的龟裂地貌主要产于晚白垩世河口组红色砂岩中,造型奇特、多样,形成许多象形景观,如龟寿石、松果石、鳄鱼石、仙人犁田等,引人注目。但是,对这些龟裂地貌的微观研究不足,导致对其成因的解释比较模糊。本次在野外用罗盘测量裂隙走向,同时采集砂岩样品进行偏光显微镜和扫描电子显微镜实验观察,分析龟裂地貌形成的原因。野外观察发现,龟裂地貌主要发育在颗粒相对均匀的厚层细粒砂岩中,可产在砂岩层面或其它暴露面上,向下延伸一般不超过15 cm。在偏光显微镜下,砂岩样品的碎屑颗粒主要为次棱角状-次圆状,分选性较好,填隙物中含有方解石胶结物。在扫描电镜下,颗粒胶结疏松,颗粒表面的溶蚀小孔和裂隙比较常见。结合国内外类似研究,本文认为岩性是龟裂地貌发育的基本要素,裂隙走向的玫瑰花图显示,断裂构造控制了一部分龟裂的形成,但并不是唯一的原因。在风化作用过程中,由于硅、铁、锰氧化物沉淀而在砂岩表层形成薄层结壳,后由于应力拉张使结壳破裂,形成细小的裂隙,流水沿着裂隙侵蚀使其扩大,最终形成龟裂地貌。最后,提出龟裂地貌的四个阶段演化模式。 相似文献

针对红山窑膨胀红砂岩具有微膨胀、易软化、易风化的特点,采用扫描电子显微镜、X射线衍射仪、MTS815.03岩石力学刚性电液伺服试验机等先进的设备为测试手段,对3种不同风化程度的膨胀红砂岩湿化过程进行观察和机理分析,从试验和机理两方面探讨膨胀红砂岩的湿化性,从而进一步阐明红砂岩膨胀性、裂隙化具有本质的区别。试验结果表明：(1) 中风化红砂岩干燥时抗压强度为5.85 MPa,饱和试样为0.20 MPa,岩石本身强度随吸水率增加而明显下降,具有强烈的软化作用;(2) 膨胀红砂岩的湿化性随胶结系数的减小而愈加强烈,与红砂岩风化程度(埋深)无关。这些研究成果对红山窑水利枢纽工程红砂岩地基开挖易裂以及边坡表层溜坍预治具有较大的指导意义。 相似文献

冷生风化作用对边坡稳定性影响 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The experiment shows that considerable influence on density rock properties are subjected by nival weathering conditions. The main parameter defining the rock suitability for solution various engineering and geological problems is its firmness limit on single axis pressing. The firmness properties of sandstone being in absolutely dry condition for Kabakta suite at the beginning of investigation was 64.7 MPa, for Nerungri suite sandstones it was 48. 7 MPa. The investigations showed how much the nival conditions of cryohypergenesis of rock sandstones in Kabakta and Nerungri suites have destructive influence in comparison with aquale and more over aerale conditions. In the aerale conditions sedimentary rock firmness of Kabakta suite decreased to 23.2 MPa, in aquale conditions to 16.5, and in the nivale conditions to 8.9 MPa. In Nerungri suite sandstones are according to 17.7 MPa, 11.1 MPa, and 6 MPa after 300 freezing and thawing cycles. The common sandstone firmness decrease of Kabakta suite was 25 %,of Nerungri suite it was 23.8%. Marlstone samples after 400 FTC decrease to 62% in the nivale conditions and to 33 % in the aerale conditions. After 3～5 years of exploitation marlstone will destruct due to structural and textural inhomogenesis up to gruss, i.e. it will not meet the requirements of durability.Judging by the results of carried out experiment it should be concluded that by cryogenic weathering the sedimentary rocks (sandstones) and rocks with schistose lithogenic texture (marlstone) are subjected to disintegration. The primary rock samples firmness considerably influences on the disintegration rate. 相似文献

In respect to the weathering of cave art exposed to the sun, cognizance has yet to be taken of the modified thermal conditions and the potential for endolithic biotic activity where the art is located on a light‐transmissive lithology. Where light penetrates rock, the light‐to‐heat transfer is not solely at the surface, and this leads to a thermal gradient that is different from where the paintings are located (and all transfer is at the surface). Light values of up to 200 W/m2 were recorded at 0.5 mm depth and up to 100 W/m2 at 1mm depth in the dry sandstone; rock moisture data showed that at this site the rock remained dry irrespective of atmospheric conditions. The light penetration means that there can be rapid and large subsurface thermal fluctuations contemporaneous with those at the rock surface, and that the thermal gradient is not as steep (approximately 1°C/mm in the surficial part of the rock) as where light‐to‐heat transfer is solely at the surface. Further, the presence of subsurface photosynthetically active radiation can (potentially) facilitate colonization by endolithic organisms. Here, as part of a study of the weathering of San rock art on sandstone in southern Africa, a first attempt is made to monitor the extent of light penetration and the resulting thermal conditions in the outer few millimeters of the sandstone. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

Sandstone alterations triggered by fire-related temperatures 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0

The aim of the study was to identify and describe changes in two different sandstone types when undergoing different environmental and extreme temperature regimes to assess the possibility of finding insolation weathering and how these sandstones would behave during and after a fire. The first step was the simulation in the laboratory of temperature regimes up to 60 °C which would correspond to extreme events that could be found in insolation cycles even in Central Europe and the second one was the temperature above 200 °C simulating in laboratory conditions the thermal regime of a potential fire situation at temperatures up to 200, 400, 600 and 800 °C. Heating the samples above 400 °C led to gradual changes in mineral composition, colour, surface roughness and physical properties reaching, eventually, total rock breakdown through spalling and granular disaggregation. The different behaviour of sandstones exposed to high temperatures is mainly caused by their different mineral composition with various ratios of minerals that are more or less chemically stable at high temperatures as well as by the differences in the porosity. 相似文献

Following automation of lighthouses around the coastline of Ireland, reports of accelerated deterioration of interior granite stonework have increased significantly with an associated deterioration in the historic structure and rise in related maintenance costs. Decay of granite stonework primarily occurs through granular disintegration with the effective grusification of granite surfaces. A decay gradient exists within the towers whereby the condition of granite in the lower levels is much worse than elsewhere. The lower tower levels are also regions with highest relative humidity values and greatest salt concentrations. Data indicate that post-automation decay may have been triggered by a change in micro-environmental conditions within the towers associated with increased episodes of condensation on stone surfaces. This in turn appears to have facilitated deposition and accumulation of hygroscopic salts (e.g. NaCl) giving rise to widespread evidence of deliquescence in the lower tower levels. Evidence indicates that the main factors contributing to accelerated deterioration of interior granite stonework are changes in micro-environmental conditions, salt weathering, chemical weathering through the corrosive effect of strongly alkaline conditions on alumino-silicate minerals within the granite and finally, the mica-rich characteristics of the granite itself which increases its structural and chemical susceptibility to subaerial weathering processes by creating points of weakness within the granite. This case study demonstrates how seemingly minor changes in micro-environmental conditions can unintentionally trigger the rapid and extensive deterioration of a previously stable rock type and threaten the long-term future of nationally iconic operational historic structures. 相似文献

苏皖凹凸棒石矿物红外光谱特征研究 总被引：13，自引：0，他引：13
苏皖凹凸捧石粘土矿物包括沉积、风化及火山碎屑蚀变三种成因类型。成矿物质来源于内陆浅水湖盆水下玄武岩风化蚀变及地表玄武岩的风化。不同成因类型的凹凸棒石在矿物晶体结晶程度上有较大差异。通常,由风化作用生成并与碳酸盐共生的沉积型凹凸棒石结晶程度低,较纯的并与硅质岩共生的沉积型凹凸棒石结晶程度高。它们在红外吸收光谱特征上表现为:前者红外振动吸收带分裂程度低,吸收峰弱且峰形钝。后者红外振动吸收带分裂程度高,吸收峰尖锐。因此研究凹凸捧石的红外吸收光谱特征可基本上区分出它们的成因类型。本文还对凹凸棒石红外吸收光谱振动波数带进行了划分,并对相应的振动类型作了探讨。 相似文献

Rock-weathering rates as functions of time 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Steven M. Colman 《Quaternary Research》1981,15(3):250-264
The scarcity of documented numerical relations between rock weathering and time has led to a common assumption that rates of weathering are linear. This assumption has been strengthened by studies that have calculated long-term average rates. However, little theoretical or empirical evidence exists to support linear rates for most chemical-weathering processes, with the exception of congruent dissolution processes. The few previous studies of rock-weathering rates that contain quantitative documentation of the relation between chemical weathering and time suggest that the rates of most weathering processes decrease with time. Recent studies of weathering rinds on basaltic and andesitic stones in glacial deposits in the western United States also clearly demonstrate that rock-weathering processes slow with time. Some weathering processes appear to conform to exponential functions of time, such as the square-root time function for hydration of volcanic glass, which conforms to the theoretical predictions of diffusion kinetics. However, weathering of mineralogically heterogeneous rocks involves complex physical and chemical processes that generally can be expressed only empirically, commonly by way of logarithmic time functions. Incongruent dissolution and other weathering processes produce residues, which are commonly used as measures of weathering. These residues appear to slow movement of water to unaltered material and impede chemical transport away from it. If weathering residues impede weathering processes then rates of weathering and rates of residue production are inversely proportional to some function of the residue thickness. This results in simple mathematical analogs for weathering that imply nonlinear time functions. The rate of weathering becomes constant only when an equilibrium thickness of the residue is reached. Because weathering residues are relatively stable chemically, and because physical removal of residues below the ground surface is slight, many weathering features require considerable time to reach constant rates of change. For weathering rinds on volcanic stones in the western United States, this time is at least 0.5 my. 相似文献

The expansion processes that develop in building stones upon changes of moisture content may be an important contributing factor for their deteriorations. Until recently, few data could be found in the literature concerning this parameter and weathering processes. Moreover, the processes that may be responsible for the moisture related expansion of natural building stones are not yet completely understood. To further elucidate this process, extensive mineralogical, petrophysical and fabric investigations were performed on eight German sandstones in order to obtain more information regarding the weathering process and its dependence on the rock fabric. The analysed sandstones show a wide range of pore size distributions and porosities. A positive correlation with the fabric and the pore space can be found for all studied petrophysical parameters. The intensity of the expansion and related swelling pressure cannot be attributed only to the swelling of clay minerals. The investigations suggest that the micropores and the resulting disjoining pressure during wet/dry cycles also play an important role. The results obtained suggest that the mechanism is related to the presence of liquid water within the porous material. 相似文献

Geological structure,sedimentation conditions,and petroleum potential of sedimentary basins in Southeast Asia 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Sedimentary basins located in the continent-to-ocean transition zones with an active tectonic regime are extremely different
in terms of both geological structure and composition of rocks with the hydrocarbon-hosting potential. Oil-and-gas fields
in such zones are confined not only to the deltaic, coastal-marine, and submarine-slope sandstones, as well as limestones
and dolomites of buried carbonate banks, but also to silicic and volcanic rocks. Such fields have been discovered in weathering
crusts of granite plutons, metamorphic rocks of the basement, fissured basalts, and other magmatic rocks. This is demonstrated
vividly by the Southeast Asia region, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Bangladesh, and other countries, where fore-arc,
back-arc, inter-arc, and marginal-rift sedimentary basins are assigned to petroliferous areas. 相似文献
