Combined effects of salt, cyclic wetting and drying cycles on the physical and mechanical properties of sandstone

Salt weathering has considerable effects, and it has recently become the subject of interest among researchers and engineers, especially in terms of sandstone heritage buildings and sandstone monuments. However, the impacts of salt weathering on sandstone after wetting-drying cycles have been neglected in the literature. Under the conditions of the long-term or gradual underground seepage of water into sandstone heritage buildings and monuments,...
