The sedimentary are commonly encountered during various civil, mining, tunneling, activities and oil and gas exploration activities. three principal sedimentary rocks viz. Sandstones, limestones and shales constitute over 80% of all sedimentary rocks. The chemical, mineralogical, geological and microscopic properties of rocks plays an important and dominant role in their behavior and response under varying stress conditions and environmental surroundings. This paper presents experimental studies on 8 sandstones from central part of India pertaining to their chemical, mineralogical, geological and microscopic properties experimentally determined. The paper also analyses the interrelation among various properties and their influence on behavior and response of these rocks under varying stress and environmental conditions
