Book Description

Please note that this is a scanned copy of a paper originally published in 1997, so the text is not as clear as in documents created as pdf files.

One of the attractions of natural building stone is the wide variety of colours and textures available to designers. Unlike colour and texture, durability is difficult to define and even more difficult to measure. This Digest summarises tests that can be applied to natural building stone. 8 pages.
