Insufficient Shape Stability of Marble Panels: Fundamental Knowledge, Risk and Prevention
Publication: Forensic Engineering (2000)
Abstract
This paper is about physical causes for loss of shape stability of marble panels for facades due to weather influences. The analysis performed allows fundamental insight into the process of damage in grain boundaries and so makes it possible to scientifically explain the loss of shape stability of marble façades conclusively. Along the lines of the knowledge gained, effective measures and methods are proposed to maintain shape stability of marble panels in outdoor applications and to minimize the potential of damage and risk of hazards.
