Geosciences has produced hundreds of reports, papers and articles on
geological, geotechnical and scientific issues. Many of the articles are
based on an in-depth knowledge of natural material by way of petrographic
analysis, technical analysis and experience but others have required
sophisticated high-level research. Investigations into construction
failures or the performance of certain natural and man-made materials have
often called on collective knowledge gained only through lengthy experience.
References to some of the more noteable article related to building stone or
construction are listed below. In addition, a sample skeleton outline of
one articles is provided. Full articles may be obtained upon request
