This work examines the compressive strength of natural stones, as estimated by Uniaxial compressive strength tests (UCS) and respective non-destructive tests results (Schmidt Hammer Rebound test, SHR, or an Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity transmission, UPV). In practice, aiming to correlate the values of the UCS test with the results of the NDT …
The Schmidt hammer is commonly used for the prediction of unconfined compressive strength and other mechanical properties of rocks from surface rebound hardness values since it is quick, easy, inexpensive, and non-destructive testing method. In this study, metamorphic, sedimentary, and igneous rock samples were collected from …

Keywords: portland-limestone cement conc rete; hydration; co mpressive strength; carbonation; model 1. Introduction Portland-limestone cement (PLC) is manufactured by intergrinding Portland cement clinker with various contents of limestone. The limestone is more easily ground than clinker, and becomes concentrated in the finest particles.

Limestone: The specific gravity of limestone ranges from 2.0 to 2.8, and crushing strength varies from 40 to 90 N/mm 2. Due to its low crushing strength, it is unsuitable for load-bearing structures. It is used for flooring, paving, and so on.
When a large amount of fine LS was used to replace cement, LS showed dilution effect and reduced the compressive strength [50]. Generally, the compressive strength decreased as the LS content increased [55], and the dilution effect of LS on the compressive strength was more obvious at later ages, as shown in Fig. 10 [56]. With …

(100 mm × 100 mm × 100mm) were tested in compression to determine the average compressive strength of the stone. The average measured compressive strength was 100.6 MPa with a standard deviation of ± 13.1 MPa. This value is within the compressive strength range reported by Sorour [7] for similar limestone specimens, which range …

Pillar strength can be defined as the maximum resistance of a pillar to axial compression (9). In flat lying deposits, pillar compression is caused by the weight of the overlying rock mass. Empirical evidence suggests that pillar strength is related to both its volume and its shape (4, 6, 9). Numerous equations have been
The incorporation of 40% limestone dust at 0.50 water-to-cement ratios was found to improve the compressive strength of the concrete and resulted in the maximum compressive strength.
