Evaluation of the relationships between compression resistance, point load and indirect traction of aggregates of the built heritage in San Francisco de Campeche

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This research work analyzed the properties of stone aggregates, focusing on uniaxial compressive strength, point load strength tests and indirect tensile test.Seybaplaya, a port in Campeche, Mexico, was the site of sample collection from an active bank. The results showed that the compression varied between 8.6 - 84.7 MPa, the point load between 0.52 - 7.12 MPa, and the indirect tension between 0.672 - 10.839 MPa. These properties are essential for designers and builders, providing guidance on the importance of aggregates in structures.
