abstract

freeze-thaw is one of the most powerful weathering agents that may cause a rapid change in the initial engineering properties of stones, and limit their durability. freeze-thaw induces stress over the pores’ surface of stones. consequently, stone durability is closely related to its engineering and physical properties. the purpose of this study is estimating the engineering properties of deteriorated stones after freeze-thaw using multiple regression analysis. for this purpose, laboratory tests were conducted on 14 different building stones, and their petrographical characteristics, and engineering and physical properties were determined as well. then freeze-thaw action was simulated for 30 cycles, and the engineering properties of stones including brazilian tensile strength, point load index and p-wave velocity were determined. the statistical models for estimating the engineering properties after freeze-thaw were developed by multiple regression analysis. the models were validated by statistical tests, and the results showed that engineering properties of stones can be estimated after freeze-thaw using their initial engineering and physical properties with good accuracy.

Estimating 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...

Estimating the durability of building stones against Salt crystallization: considering the physical properties and strength characteristics

Salt crystallization is one of the most important weathering agents and may limit the durability of building stones. Salt crystallization induces stresses inside the pores of stones. Consequently, stone durability is closely related to its physical properties and strength. The purpose of this study was to propose a statistical model for estimating stone durability against salt crystallization c...

Alteration dependent physical-mechanical properties of quartz-diorite building stones

The microscopic and geomechanical properties of igneous building stones include the level of alteration, presence of micro cracks, peak strength, porosity, proportion of detrimental minerals, etc. Porosity is reportedly of a devastating impact on the peak strength of igneous rocks. The quartz diorite rock samples in this study were selected from five quarries in Natanz, Iran and subject to micr...

Freeze-Thaw Bayesian Optimization

In machine learning, the term “training” is used to describe the procedure of fitting a model to data. In many popular models, this fitting procedure is framed as an optimization problem, in which a loss is minimized as a function of the parameters. In all but the simplest machine learning models, this minimization must be performed with an iterative algorithm such as stochastic gradient descen...
