bergartsmaterial
Bergartsmaterial is a geological term used to describe rock material derived from bedrock, including both intact rock and rock fragments found in unconsolidated form. It encompasses solids formed by the weathering, erosion, transport, and deposition of rock as well as primary and secondary fragments that remain within a rock mass. The term is often used in geotechnical, hydrogeological, and construction contexts to distinguish rock-based material from soils and organic matter.
Bergartsmaterial is commonly classified by the origin and type of the rock it derives from. The three
Key properties used to describe bergartsmaterial include mineral composition, grain size and shape, texture, porosity, permeability,
Bergartsmaterial plays a central role in geotechnical design, resource extraction, and construction, reflecting the diversity of
