Tertiary plutonic rocks of southern Serbia Vardar Zone as dimension stone
Abstract
Three granitoid plutons of south-Serbian part of the Vardar Zone, of Tertiary
age were studied in order to establish their potential for utilization as
dimension stone. These rocks vary in composition from quartzmonconite to
quartzdiorite. Field study aimed at establishing the geological factors -
presence of fractures, harmful minerals, alterations, jointing type and
fabric homogeneity in order to determine the possibility of obtaining large
size blocks of stone from the plutons. Laboratory examinations comprised
petrological analyses and testing of technical properties. Stone from these
plutons has shown favourable results in both field and laboratory
examinations. Evaluation of the rock based on obtained laboratory testing
results is performed according to technical requirements of the Serbian
standard B.B3.200. It has shown that rocks from these plutons can be used as
dimension stone for the production of slabs for the exterior and in...terior
paving and claddi
