  • 1296-2074
Subject(s): In: Journal of Cultural Heritage 3 14 2, 172Abstract: The susceptibility to weathearing of eleven carbonate and evaporitic Spanish building roks was studied by means of disssolution experiments. Mineralogy, petrology, geochenmistry and porosity of the rocks were also characterized in order to determine the potential relationship between these propertiesof the rocks and their dissolutions rates. Rocks slabs were submerged in a o.1 M HCL acid solution for 72 h and the amounts of Ca, mg and S released weremeasured, as well as the weight loss of stamples during yhe acid attack. Alabastes, wich presented very low porosity, were disolved to a lesser extent tan limestones and dolostones in the time of the experiment. A significant positive correlations was found for connected with the weight loss of the rocks during the disolution and with the kinetic rate of Ca dissolution. Overall, the results highlight the influence of the porous network in the degradability of building stones by controling their rate of dissoluolution. There is a positive correlation for all the rocks between weight loss along acidic attack and connected porosity, but no relationship between mineralogical and petrographical composition and suceptibility ro disolution.
