The effect of cyclic salt weathering test on deterioration potential of granitoid rocks
In this study, the salt weathering effects on engineering properties and weight loss potential of three types of granitoid rocks were investigated. Sodium and magnesium sulfates tests were performed on core and aggregate samples. The cyclic salt weathering tests on core samples were done up to 90 cycles, while these tests on aggregate samples were done up to 40 cycles. The results showed that d...
متن کاملEstimating the Mechanical Properties of Travertine Building Stones Due to Salt Crystallization Using Multivariate Regression Analysis
Salt crystallization is one of the most powerful weathering agents that may cause a rapid change in the mechanical properties of stones, and thus limit their durability. Consequently, determining the mechanical properties of stones due to salt crystallization is important for natural building stones used in marine environmental and mild climatic conditions, which expose excessive salt crys...
متن کاملPetrophysical and durability tests on sandstones for the evaluation of their quality as building stones using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP)
Due to their widespread availability, sandstones are commonly used as a natural stone for buildings, monuments and sculptures. In thecurrent study, nine sandstone samples from the Upper Red Formation (specified by the letters A, B, C, CG, S, S1, Sh, Tr and Min)were studied from a petrophysical point of view and their durability was evaluated. Then, their suitability as building stones wasassess...
متن کاملدگرسانی کانیها در دو بستر سنگی متفاوت و خاک حاصل از آنها در ناحیهی لاهیجان
Microscopical studies were carried out, in addition to physico-chemical and mineralogical analysis, in order to evaluate the effect of parent material and weathering on soil genesis in forest regions of Lahijan. Two representative soil pedons in mountain landform developed on granite and andesitic basalt located about 8 km southeast of Lahijan were selected and sampling were taken from each hor...
متن کاملComparison between Salt crystallization weathering test and natural weathering in Mesozoic’s anisotropic rocks, a case study: Arakʾs Calcareous slates, Iran
Salt crystallization can severely damage anisotropic foliated rocks, therefore it is necessary to have an understanding of crystallization process. The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of salt crystallization on Arakʾs calcareous slates, as anisotropic rocks of Mesozoic. To compare salt crystallization weathering (EN 12370 norm was used up to 30 cycles) with natural weather...
