IS 7779 : Part 5 : Sec 1 to 3 : 1997 Schedule for Properties and Availability of Stones for Construction Purposes - Part 5 : Andhra Pradesh State - Sections 1 to 3

FOREWORD

This Indian Standard ( Part 51 Set 1 to 3 ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards after the draft finalized by Stones Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.

Stones are available in large quantities in different parts of the country. To choose and utilize them for various uses, it is necessary to know their availability as well as their physical properties. Accordingly this Indian Standard has been formulated to cover this information for the state of Andhra Pradesh. It IS hoped that with the publication of this standard it will be convenient for the users to know the locations of various types of stones and will also act as a guide for their proper selection depending upon their end use.
