The influence of mineralogical textural and chemical characteristics on the durability of selected sandstones in Istanbul, Turkey

Tuğrul, A. / Zarif, I. H.

Abstract The paper describes the analyses and geotechnical testing of sandstones taken from a road cutting to the north east of Istanbul, Turkey. Samples were carefully selected in the field in order to obtain material representative of the complete weathering profile. Although unconfined compressive strength, point load index values and Schmidt hammer rebound numbers were obtained, the slake durability test provided the closest correlation with weathering grade.
