| Abstract Scope |
Ornamental stones have been increasingly used in civil construction and, therefore, knowing the technological characteristics of these materials is of paramount importance to determine which types of stone are most suitable for each application. This work studies ornamental stones applied as floors, where they are exposed to the possibility of cracking and breaking as a result of falling objects. For this, five different types of rock with different thicknesses were submitted to the screening process, which consists of applying a fiberglass screen on the unfinished face of the rock. Rocks with and without screens were then subjected to the hard body impact strength test. The results confirmed the screen's efficiency in increasing the impact strength of rocks and also showed that the thinner rocks with the screen reached higher strengths than the thicker rocks without the screen. |
