A comparison of the relative resistance of limestones to frost and salt weathering

Abstract

Laboratory simulations of salt weathering (using sodium sulphate) and freeze–thaw attack (using an Icelandic Cycle) on 19 different limestones indicate that the rocks do not respond in an identical way to the two processes. Resistance to salt is a poor predictor of resistance to frost. Moreover, Young's modulus of elasticity, which was determined by the Grindosonic method, appears not in itself to be a reliable indicator of resistance to frost attack.

Des essais en laboratoire d'altération par le sel (avec du sulfate de sodium) et d'attaques par des alternances de gel‐dégel (cycle islandais) sur 19 calcaires différents indiquent que les roches ne répondent pas d'une manière identique aux deux processus. La résistance au sel est un pauvre indicateur de la résistance au gel. En outre le module d'élasticité de Young qui a été déterminé avec un appareil Grindosonic, ne paraît pas être un indicateur fiable de la résistance au gel. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
