3.4 FRIABLE SANDSTONE AND CONGLOMERATE: SYDNEY BASIN Declining reserves of accessible alluvial sand and gravel have led to quarrying of the weak and weathered sandstones and conglomerates that outcrop extensively within the Sydney Basin. Similar deposits are worked in England, from the Bunter Pebble Beds and the Folkestone Sands.

No shear reinforcing needed. Since the wingwall is allowed to be broken off in a major earthquake, the adjacent bridge columns have to be designed to sustain the seismic loading with no wingwall resistance.

Abstract. Sandstone in fragmented form, derived from the Hawkesbury Sandstone, the Banks Wall Sandstone and the Terrigal Formation, is - by geological default - an important and growing source of geomaterials in the Sydney area.

Also in the late 19th and early 20th century, Sydney sandstone was used for major construction in most other major Australian cities especially Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane to the extent that complaints were expressed that suitable local stone materials were being neglected. Quarrying of Sydney sandstone continues today.

When looking at an ancient lithified sandstone, its maturity may be described in terms of its chemical and physical properties (mineralogy and texture). Four main types of sandstone may thus be recognized as shown in Table 2. This table also employs four commonly used names to describe sandstones.
