A Life-Cycle Inventory of Limestone Dimension Stone Quarrying and Processing-Natural Stone
Limestone is most commonly employed as rough block for building and construction. Additionally, it is used as dressed stone in various applications including curbing, paneling, veneer, and tile. Two general phases of limestone production exist: quarrying and processing. Each of these phases is described below.
· The profitability of stone quarries depends on the appearance (color and texture) and, more importantly, on the size of the blocks, which is determined by the three-dimensional discontinuity pattern of the rock mass. However, to date there is no comprehensive criterion by which to assess the size of blocks in quarries. The aim of
