Examination Of The Relationships Between Porosity, P-Wave Velocity And Uniaxial Compressive Strength On Geologically Different Rock Types Used In Industry

25450

In this study, the relationships between the apparent porosity, porosity and uniaxial compressive strength and P-wave velocity of geologically different origins some natural stones that used as marble and building stone were investigated. For this purposes, 58 samples of diabase, andesite, trachyandesite, limestone and travertine were collected from the marble-quarries and potential industrial usable fields. According to results of the evaluation of the data while the porosity values in the igneous and sedimentary rocks decreases, which results increases in the P-wave velocity values and the highest value is observed in the hard, fossiliferous, calcite veined Balkırı Beige Limestone. The relation between uniaxial compressive strength and P-wave velocity was reveals that this relation not only depends on the porosity of the rocks, but also depends on the mineralogical, textural, alteration and structural characteristics of the rock types.
