COMPARATIVE ANALYSES OF PETROGRAPHIC AND PHYSICOMECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF SELECTED GNEISSES FROM OKENE, SW BASEMENT COMPLEX, NIGERIA by Emmanuel Anthony Emioge, Omabehere Innocent Ejeh, Felix Chukwuka Ugbe

“…In an attempt to determine the more suitable gneiss for foundation works (house, road, and dam construction), the need arises to search for geomaterials that will help to minimize the cost of executing durable engineering projects. Selected samples of gneisses’ petrographic and physico-mechanical properties were examined to ascertain which type of gneiss is more suitable for engineering projects. …”
