Abstract:Currently, the usability of building stones is determined by direct physical and mechanical tests. Dry unit weight, water absorption by weight, post-frost weight loss, uniaxial compressive strength and post-frost uniaxial compressive strength values are compared with the limiting values as specified in TS 10449 and ASTM standards in order to be used as a building stone. This study proposes a new method that can be used to evaluate building stones to be used in construction industry by use of Vp and Vs wave vel… Show more
