the microscopic and geomechanical properties of igneous building stones include the level of alteration, presence of micro cracks, peak strength, porosity, proportion of detrimental minerals, etc. porosity is reportedly of a devastating impact on the peak strength of igneous rocks. the quartz diorite rock samples in this study were selected from five quarries in natanz, iran and subject to micr...
