Özet

Natural stones are exposed to sudden and slow-developing thermal cycles, affecting their physico-mechanical and surface properties. In this study, changes in the physico-mechanical properties of natural stones in response to sudden (thermal shock) and slow-developing (thermal aging) thermal cycles were investigated on natural stone samples with various compositions (magmatic, sedimentary, metamorphic). Both the thermal shock and thermal aging cycles were simulated by first heating the specimens to 105 degrees C for 18 h. In case of the thermal shock cycles, the heating phase was followed by placing the samples in purred water for 6 h. To simulate the thermal aging cycles, specimens were allowed to cool at room temperature (23 degrees C) for 6 h. At the end of the cycles, a selection of physico-mechanical properties was evaluated and compared with the initial values. Results indicate that thermal treatments have a significant negative effect on the strength of the natural stone samples. Regression models were developed to estimate uniaxial compressive strength, point load strength, Brazilian tensile strength from non-destructive test parameters (Schmidt hardness, P wave velocity, porosity) of natural and treated samples. Results show that there are strong correlations between mechanical properties and non-destructive test parameters (R-2 > 0.96, MAPE values between 2 and 5%).
