earth material which are present in rocks.
Rock
the portion of the earth’s crust having no definite
shape and structure
IN CONSTRUCTION:
Rock –
An indefinite mixture of naturally occurring substances, mainly minerals.
Its

substances, and are never exact.
Stone –
Small piece of rock; may or may not refer to ornamental material.
To ease the understanding of this topic, Rock=Stone.
To qualify as a construction material, stone should have
the following qualities:
Strength
Hardness
Durability
Workability
Density
Appearance

QUARRYING
The process of taking out stones from natural rock bed.
It is carried out at ground level in an exposed condition.
Site for quarry
1. Availability of tools, power, materials and labor.
2. Availability of site – Avoiding health hazards.
3. Distance of site from transportation facilities.
4. Drainage of quarry pit.
5. Availability of clean water.
6. Economy.
7. Absence of permanent structures nearby
incase of quarrying by blasting.
8. Geological conditions.
9. Quality of stone.
10. Quantity of stone likely to be obtained.
11. Structural stability.
12. Check for cracks and fissures.
Methods of Quarrying
1. Quarrying with hand tools
2. Quarrying with channeling machine
3. Quarrying by blasting
Quarrying with hand tools
1. Digging or Excavating
Instruments like pick-axes, hammers, shovels, chisels, etc are used.
Useful in case of soft stones.
2. Heating
Heating the top surface by placing wood or adding fuel
Useful in taking out blocks of more or less regular shapes.
3. Wedging
Steel wedges are driven through
cracks and fissures.
Adopted for costly stratified rocks
like laterite, limestone, sandstone.
Quarrying with channeling machine
Machines driven by steam, compressed air and electricity.
Channels are cut around the stone block which is to be removed from rock.
The horizontal holes are drilled beneath the block
Wedges are driven into the holes and the block is then broken loose
Adopted for Marble, Limestone and soft sandstone.
Quarrying by blasting
Use of explosives.
To obtain small pieces of rock.
Adopted for quarrying hard stones which have no cracks and fissures.
Tools used are; Dipper, Jumper, Priming Needle, Scraping spoon, Tamping bar.
Detonators, Explosives, and Fuses are the materials.
Saves time and labor.
Precautions to be taken seriously.
Dressing of Stones
Stones are cut in suitable sizes with suitable surfaces are quarrying.
- To get the desired appearance.
- To make transportation easy and economic.
- To suit building requirements.
Some of the variety of finishes are;
1. Axed finish – Dressed by axe. Ex; granite.
2. Boasted finish – Boaster chisel used to make non continuous parallel marks.
3. Dragged finish – Drag is a piece of steel with a number of teeth, rubbed on
the surface in all directions.
4. Furrowed finish – borderline of 20mm is sunk on the edges. A number of
vertical groves are projected out.
5. Hammer-dressed finish – Uneven surfaces and corners.
6. Polished finish – marble, granite.
7. Reticulated finish – net like appearance.
8. Tooled finish – parallel continuous marks are made with a chisel.
Preservations of Stones
To prevent the penetration of moisture to the stone surface.
To avoid develop objectionable color.
To retain the hardness.
1. Coal tar – creates color and spoils the beauty of stone.
2. Linseed oil – Needs to be renewed frequently. Lasts for a longer time.
3. Paint – Changes the color
4. Paraffin
5. Solution of alum and soap.
6. Solution of Barium Hydroxide or Baryta Ba(OH)2
STONE CONSTRUCTION
Paneling
thin slabs of stone cut to dimension and thickness to cover back
up walls and provide finished exterior
 Running Bond - a masonry
bond formed when all units
are laid in stretcher position,
with a half-unit overlap
 Stack Bond - a masonry bond
formed when there is no
overlapping of all units and all
horizontal & vertical joints are
aligned
Ashlars
work requires the use of cut stone that includes broken ashlars,
regularly / irregularly coursed.
 Coursed Ashlar - Ashlar masonry
laid out in courses of equal
height; blocks of various sizes
may be combined to make up
the height of the course
 Random Ashlar - Ashlar masonry
laid without regular courses but
with an overall effect of
horizontal orientation
Rubblework
random & no attempt to produced an orderly course either
horizontal or vertical.. Small spaces are filled with smaller stones.
 Coursed Rubble - Fieldstone or
roughly dressed stone, with or
without mortar, assembled to
give a effect of courses
 Fieldstone - Stone found on the
ground (i.e., not quarried) that is
a suitable size and shape for use
as drywall or rubble masonry

The horizontal holes are drilled beneath the block Wedges are driven into the holes and the block is then broken loose Adopted for Marble, Limestone and soft sandstone. Quarrying by blasting Use of explosives. To obtain small pieces of rock. Adopted for quarrying hard stones which have no cracks and fissures. Tools used are; Dipper, Jumper, Priming Needle, Scraping spoon, Tamping bar. Detonators, Explosives, and Fuses are the materials. Saves time and labor. Precautions to be taken seriously.
  • 39. Dressing of Stones Stones are cut in suitable sizes with suitable surfaces are quarrying. - To get the desired appearance. - To make transportation easy and economic. - To suit building requirements. Some of the variety of finishes are; 1. Axed finish – Dressed by axe. Ex; granite. 2. Boasted finish – Boaster chisel used to make non continuous parallel marks. 3. Dragged finish – Drag is a piece of steel with a number of teeth, rubbed on the surface in all directions. 4. Furrowed finish – borderline of 20mm is sunk on the edges. A number of vertical groves are projected out. 5. Hammer-dressed finish – Uneven surfaces and corners. 6. Polished finish – marble, granite. 7. Reticulated finish – net like appearance. 8. Tooled finish – parallel continuous marks are made with a chisel.
  • 40. Preservations of Stones To prevent the penetration of moisture to the stone surface. To avoid develop objectionable color. To retain the hardness. 1. Coal tar – creates color and spoils the beauty of stone. 2. Linseed oil – Needs to be renewed frequently. Lasts for a longer time. 3. Paint – Changes the color 4. Paraffin 5. Solution of alum and soap. 6. Solution of Barium Hydroxide or Baryta Ba(OH)2
  • 42. Paneling thin slabs of stone cut to dimension and thickness to cover back up walls and provide finished exterior  Running Bond - a masonry bond formed when all units are laid in stretcher position, with a half-unit overlap  Stack Bond - a masonry bond formed when there is no overlapping of all units and all horizontal & vertical joints are aligned
  • 43. Ashlars work requires the use of cut stone that includes broken ashlars, regularly / irregularly coursed.  Coursed Ashlar - Ashlar masonry laid out in courses of equal height; blocks of various sizes may be combined to make up the height of the course  Random Ashlar - Ashlar masonry laid without regular courses but with an overall effect of horizontal orientation
  • 44.
  • 45. Rubblework random & no attempt to produced an orderly course either horizontal or vertical.. Small spaces are filled with smaller stones.  Coursed Rubble - Fieldstone or roughly dressed stone, with or without mortar, assembled to give a effect of courses  Fieldstone - Stone found on the ground (i.e., not quarried) that is a suitable size and shape for use as drywall or rubble masonry
