This book offers a comprehensive review devoted exclusively to
slate as dimension stone. Beginning with a description of the slate
as dimension stone, the book describes the origin of slate and
related geological phenomena. It thoroughly explains key data
acquisition methods and techniques, which are accompanied by
extensive data. In turn, slate standards are introduced and
compared with regard to their importance for product quality. The
book covers in detail the specific petrographical, fabric,
strength, physical properties and weathering behaviour of slates.
The chapter on mining and production provides an overview of the
different forms of exploitation and related geotechnical aspects,
together with production and workflow design, from the beginning to
the final product. The second part comprises a thorough description
of worldwide slate deposits and their geology, properties and
appearance as well as a brief introduction of the history. Given
its scope and accessible format, the book represents an essential
guide for scientists, engineers, and professionals in geology,
conservation science, architecture, and mining, as well as readers
who are active in the slate industry.
