What are the engineering considerations for igneous sedimentary and metamorphic rocks?

For igneous rocks, engineering considerations include their durability, strength, and resistance to weathering. Sedimentary rocks need to be evaluated for their porosity, permeability, and compaction characteristics. Metamorphic rocks require assessment of their foliation, texture, and potential for deformation under stress. Additionally, all three types of rocks must be studied for potential environmental impacts, such as leaching of harmful minerals.


Can igneous rocks turn into metmorphic rocks and how?

Igneous rock can turn into metamorphic rock through exposure to heat and pressure. Pressures necessary to transform igneous rock to metamorphic rock are usually only found in areas of mountain building or incredibly deep burial, the metamorphism occurring in the alignment of the minerals which constitute the parent rock. Recrystallization can occur as well, even though the rock has not melted.
