Durability of building stones and weathering of antiquities in creta/greece
Abstract In the present investigation building stones from the archaeological sites of Knossos, Festos and Malia in Creta are studied with regard to their weathering condition and to some of their physical and mechanical properties. For this purpose studies were made of: a) the mineralogy with a semi-quantitative composition of the materials by microscopic and X ray diffraction methods, and in situ observations b) the weathering condition either under the microscope or with ultra-sonic velocity measurements c) weathering resistance by salt crystallisation methods d) dry density and water absorption and e) unaxial compressive strength. All test results were interpreted statistically and the relationships were expressed mathematically: correlation diagrams are also given.
