Effects of weathering on characteristics of rocks in a subtropical climate: weathering morphology, in situ, laboratory and mineralogical characterization

This paper presents the results of a comprehensive study on the morphology of weathering profiles developed on metamorphic and sedimentary rocks under subtropical climate, focusing on its influence on geotechnical parameters of weathering materials. Several cut and natural slopes were selected for m...
