The purpose of this study was to explore the changes of mechanical and physical properties of granite under different thermal loading effects. Uniaxial compression experiments studying the rules of the influence of temperature load on…
This paper aims to illustrate the use of infrared thermography as a non-destructive and non-contact technique to observe the phenomenological manifestation of damage in granite under unconfined compression. It allows records and…
The fragmentation statistics was studied in the quasi-static compression experiments conducted on prismatic specimens of Mansurov granite. The statistical analysis showed that the cumulative fragment mass distribution for granite specimens…
A set of heterogeneous and homogeneous materials differing in their brittle and ductile characteristics (granite, marble, silica ceramics, silicon carbide, organic glass) were subjected to impact damaging by a falling weight. Multiple…
To investigate the deterioration of granite under microwave irradiation and heat transfer, granite specimens were heated up to 400-1000 °C and then kept for 15 min. Uniaxial compressive strength testing results demonstrate a similar…
Ultrasonic fatigue tests are carried out under the modality of three points bending on the granite stone. The testing specimens present a prismatic shape with the dimensions: 12 x 3 x 0.8 centimeters, in order to be supported at the two…
This paper concerns the results of research into the influence of the composition of rock inclusions on the fracture response of cement-based composite specimens. Specially designed specimens of the nominal dimensions 40 × 40 × 160 mm with…
There are deficiencies associated with cold mix asphalts, specifically, cold recycled mix asphalts in comparison with hot mix asphalt or hot recycled mix asphalt such as higher moisture susceptibility. Moisture damage of asphalt mixtures…
Natural stone is a material that presents durableness over time and high aesthetic characteristic, but it is brittle and its tensile strength is significantly lower than compressive one: these peculiarities must be taken into account for…
