Geotechnical Investigation and Testing - Identification, Description, and Classification of Rock
Also Known As:
DIN EN ISO 14689 is a geotechnical standard that focuses on the identification, description, and classification of rock materials. The standard provides guidelines on how to identify and describe rock based on various characteristics such as mineralogical composition, grain size, genetic groups, discontinuities, structure, and other components. It also includes rules for the designation of these characteristics.
The standard applies specifically to the description of rock for geotechnical purposes in civil engineering. It is intended to be used when examining natural rock cores, samples, and rock masses. It does not cover the identification and classification of soil for engineering purposes, as that is addressed in other ISO standards such as ISO 14688-1 and ISO 14688-2.
