THE EFFECT OF SALT CRYSTALLIZATION ON TUFF USED AS BUILDING MATERIAL

Abstract

ABSTRACT Salt crystallization is known as one of the most important degradation mechanisms effective in the rocks degradation. Degradation occurred by salt crystallization especially effects porous rocks. Beside that, it has also an important effect on fractured and micro-fractured rocks. In this study, the resistances against salt crystallization of a total of 6 different types of tuffs that are used as building materials were determined by using dry weight loss test. Furthermore, their strength changes were determined by using ultrasonic wave velocity measurements. According to the obtained data, salt crystallization has an important degree of effect on the strength of tuffs. Also, changing of the resistance of the tuffs against salt crystallization, according to the petrographic properties of the tuffs and the included alteration zones in them were reported.
