High-temperature treatment may cause changes in physical and mechanical properties of
rocks. Temperature changing rate (heating, cooling and both of them) plays an important …

Rock control, the influence of rock properties on landform development, has for long been a
relatively under-researched topic, but numerous techniques have been developed …

Fire is one of the most severe threats to stone applied in civil engineering and architecture.
In most cases, its effects are irreversible and have long-lasting repercussions. In addition to …

In order to study the effect of high temperature on the sandstone, scanning electron
microscope (SEM) experiments and primary wave (P-wave) velocity tests have been carried …

Rocks can be subjected to high temperatures in several instances as for example in
geothermal processes or if affected by fires. Temperature variations lead to a complex stress …

It is generally accepted that the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and P-wave velocity of
rocks tend to decrease simultaneously with increasing temperature. However, based on a …

Natural or artificially disturbed rocks containing massive fillings are frequently subjected to
various sophisticated temperature and stress perturbations. To investigate the effects of …

Granite submitted to high temperatures may lead to the loss of aesthetic values even before
structural damage is caused. Thirteen granitoids were exposed to target temperatures, 200° …

In our research, stones were tested after exposing them to temperature load to get
information about the changes in their properties and about the limits of applicability. The …

In enhanced geothermal systems, thermal shock occurs around the borehole when cold
water is injected into the hot rock of a geothermal reservoir. Experiments were performed on …
