Abstract: This study deals with the Physico-mechanical properties of the granites from the Pandiyan mobile belt to identify the suitability of the granite for engineering purposes. The geological characteristics, the mining procedure and mineralogical and engineering properties of the granite samples are estimated through laboratory tests. Based on the results, it is concluded that granitoids of Madurai region is best suited for all the civil engineering works. The granites in Sankarankovil region are more suited as aggregates for road pavements. 2012 Cafet-Innova Technical Society.
