Susceptibility of limestone petrographic features to salt weathering : a scanning electron microscopy study

Salt weathering is a major erosive process affecting porous materials in buildings. There have been attempts to relate erosive mass loss to physical characteristics of materials, but in the case of natural stone it is necessary to consider the effect of petrographic features that are a source of het...
