Mechanical and Durability Properties of Selected Types of Sandstones

Article Preview

Abstract:

Present paper is focused on the experimental assessment of three sandstones from different quarries. Mechanical testing was carried out besides water absorption test and determination of frost resistance what is the crucial material parameter for all types of porous rocks. Gradual deterioration due to action of frost was monitored using non-destructive testing – ultrasonic pulse method. Obtained results well describe failure mechanism of studied sandstones of different basic physical properties. It was conducted that main part of deterioration was performed at the beginning of the freeze-thaw cycling.
