Relationship between Colour Intensity and Water Content in Crema Loja Limestone

Abstract:

The alterations to the visual properties of a Spanish limestone, Crema Loja, in relation to its water content are presented, measured and discussed in this work. A Computer Vision System previously developed, validated and patented by CTAP, was used. The study was carried out on different tiles with two surface treatments: polished and honed. A critical value of water content is proposed at the end of the study to avoid problems derived from alterations to the visual properties of this stone material due to moisture.
