| Abstract Scope |
Ornamental rocks applied to civil construction are subject to the appearance of cracks and ruptures. Some processes provide the rock with greater resistance to bending efforts. The resin coating method consists of applying a mixture of resin and catalyst on the surface to be used, while meshing is the process of fixing a fiberglass mesh on the unfinished face of the rock. This work shows the results achieved in hard body impact resistance tests, aiming to define and scale the increase in resistance using resin and screen in materials with a thickness of 0.03 m. The rocks used in this work are commercially known as: Vicenza, Romanix and Nevasca. The research results indicate the effectiveness of the application of resin and mesh provided by the significant increase in strength. However, the raw materials also achieved satisfactory results, especially the Nevasca material, which obtained the highest average of rupture heights. |
