1. The document summarizes various tests conducted on stones to determine their material properties and suitability for construction, including hardness, crushing strength, impact resistance, resistance to fire and acids, …
In this test, a sample of stone weighing about 50 to 100 gm is taken and kept in a solution of one percent hydrochloric acid for seven days. The solution is agitated at intervals. A good building stone maintains its sharp …
Compression strength test of stone is determined in this type of test. Procedure: The sample taken for the test should be a cube of size 40mm×40mm×40mm or 50mm×50mm×50mm. The sides of the cubes are made smooth by dressing …
Procedure of Attrition Test on Stones. For the attrition test, 5 kg of broken angular pieces of stones is placed in both the cylinders of Deval's attrition testing machine. The cylinders are kept in an inclined position such that their axis makes an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal.
(a) Crushing test for stones: The crushing strength of a stone greatly depends upon its texture and specific gravity. A stone of even texture arid of specific gravity greater than 2.7 can take heavy loads. Safe compressive loads on stones should be taken not more than one-tenth of the crushing loads determined by cube test. Stones generally ...
Crushing Test: The maximum load at which the sample crushes or fails divided by the area of the bearing face of the specimen gives the crushing strength of stones. Impact Test: For determining the toughness of stone, impact test is being performed on Page Impact Test Machine. Abrasion Test: This test is performed on Los Angeles apparatus. This ...
Crushing Test . Compressive Strength Test (IS: 1121 (Part I)) Samples of stone weighing at least 25 kg each of the unweathered spcimen should be obtained from quarry. To test stone for compressive strength, specimen pieces in the form of cubes or cylinders are made from samples of rock. The lateral dimension or diameter of test piece should not ...
TESTS ON STONES 1. Crushing strength test: the crushing load is equal to the crushing load divided by the area over which the load is applied. 2. Water absorption test: − − by volume= − Percentage absorption by weight= Percentage absorption ∗ ∗ 3. Abrasion test: tested on stones which are used as aggregates for road construction.

The stone is then placed in a solution of hydrochloric acid having a strength of one percent. The stone is left in the solution for seven days and is agitated at regular intervals. During this period, the acid reacts with the calcium carbonate present in the stone, causing it to dissolve.. After the seven-day period, the stone is removed from the solution and rinsed thoroughly with water.
