GEOLOGY OF LAHAT – MENGLEMBU AREA WITH EMPHASIS ON ROCK STRENGTH PARAMETERS

This paper reviews the present state knowledge of Lahat and Menglembu area and aims to identify deformations in the rocks and to propose a regional structural history of Kledang Range. The dominant lithology observed in this study is syenogranite which is later overlain by a thick blanket of alluviu...

The dominant lithology observed in this study is syenogranite which is later overlain by a thick blanket of alluvium. The thick blanket alluvium is a result of weathering process of the syenogranite itself.

From the triaxial test conducted both on Lahat and Menglembu granite, it is observed that, Lahat granite displays slightly higher rock strength compare to Menglembu granite.
