Limestones under salt decay tests: assessment of pore network-dependent durability predictors

Three Portuguese limestones (two grainstones, Semi-rijo and Moca Creme commercial types, and a trav-ertine) were subjected to salt crystallisation test (EN 12370:1999). Grainstones specimens showed higher weight loss than the travertine ones. Results are discussed, using parametric and nonparametric...
