Evaluating building stones: Physical-mechanical changes from high-temperature fire and water cooling
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: . In conclusion, stones with higher toughness and compression strength exhibited reduced damage at high temperatures due to their enhanced resistance to fracturing under stress. As limestone's mechanical strength decreases under high temperatures, it's advisable to increase its thickness to ensure sufficient support for loads and intended conditions of use. The deficiency of analysis on limestone's mechanical decay from fire reveals a significant knowledge gap regarding the complete extent of damage and deterioration in stone heritage structures.
