Abstract
Fundamental Resonance Frequency method (FRF) is foreseen by European Standard for the evaluation of the durability and state of conservation of natural stones. For these reason it is important to understand if this technique, widely applied in the determination of mechanical property of industrial materials as concrete and ceramics, can provide reliable results in the applications on natural stone. In this work, European Standard EN 14146:2004 (natural stone test method) has been analysed, starting from the comparison with American ASTM C215:2014 (concrete specimens test method). Four different stones have been tested with FRF method in order to obtain values of dynamic modulus of elasticity, following respectively EN and ASTM instructions. The same samples have been additionally tested with Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) measurement, in direct mode, by means European Standard EN14579:2004. Results obtained with FRF method following both ASTM and EN Standards are comparable for all the rock samples and these values do not differ significantly from dynamic modulus of elasticity from UPV measurement. Both ASTM and EN standard can be applied testing natural stones but with accurate consideration about rock fabric, sample dimensions, position of supports and location of the impulse. Indication suggested for artificial material as concrete can be therefore used in natural stone samples with approximate homogeneous composition and structure.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
