Abstract[edit]
The research presented in this communication aimed to evaluate the mechanism of spalling generated by mechanical stresses and strains developed due to imbibition and the link with atmospheric pollution generating gypsum in the stone. Tests were carried out on a French limestone, called tuffeau. Local strains were measured using strain gage rosettes during water imbibition in polluted and unpolluted samples. Three rosettes were placed on a sample at different distances from the surface (1, 4, 7 cm) to measure locally the strain during water infiltration. These rosettes determine the strain in three directions 0°/45°/90°. Results concerning the behaviour of polluted stone during imbibition are compared to unpolluted stone. Results concerning differential strains between the surface and the core of the stone due to water infiltration demonstrate unusual behaviour not restricted to expansion alone: a local contraction zone and expansion zone in each direction separately for the stone. Pollution by gypsum has an effect on the strain measurements mainly on the first few centimetres of the stone.
