| Abstract Scope |
The sector of ornamental rocks has been enabling the insertion of more sustainable technologies in industrial activities and extraction, thus, seeking better use of rock materials for cladding in the construction industry. This study aimed to evaluate the flexural strength of rock materials when submitted to shingling and resin coating techniques. The work quantified the modulus of rupture from bending stresses at four points, according to Brazilian standard. The materials analyzed were Vicenza, Romanix and Nevasca, in their raw state and after being submitted to epoxy-based shingling and resin coating. The results showed that after the strengthening processes of the materials evaluated, there was an increase in flexural strength in four points for both materials when compared to NBR 15.844, except the material "Nevasca" (raw state), which did not show a satisfactory value. Thus, most of the materials could be considered suitable for coating in civil construction applications. |
