... in the rates and ways of degradation. Thus, it is very useful to link the laboratory tests and the behavior of the same rocks observed in the field. The slake durability test (SDT) is a worldwide used test to assess the relationship between the slake and durability of rocks. However, it presents some well...

... Abstract Durability is one of the key functional properties of natural stones used in architecture and construction. This property is often extrapolated from index physical properties, based on the results of empirical durability tests and/or from the in situ long-term experience...

... and durability. Soundness includes 17 items for evaluation such as joint orientation and drainage conditions and stability includes four items such as rockfall and damage to the people and durability includes three items such as degree of weathering. Total 61 slopes were reevaluated using identified items...

... Abstract In the framework of the investigation of the effectiveness and durability of different commercial products as protectors against oxidation of metal sulfides in roofing slate, we present the analysis of the interaction degree between pyrite and five protective products (Tegosivin® 100...

... Abstract This paper presents a study in wear tests with a gneiss from Santo Antônio de Pádua/RJ/BR and includes analysis of the rotation increase by testing Slake Durability (SD) and Micro-Deval (MD) tests. To evaluate the influence of the rotation in these tests was set up laboratory...

... tends to degrade into a fine-graded soil-like material with high compressibility and low shear strength. Current methods of predicting behavior of marl (i.e. slake durability index) when exposed to weathering process are sometimes unreliable, therefore there is a necessity to establish new durability...
