Overview

This study reveals weathering patterns and durability of stone blocks in Tamentfoust fort, suggesting targeted conservation strategies.

Key Points

  • High porosity stone displayed low strength and poor durability, while low porosity stone showed high strength and durability.
  • Physical and mechanical properties were evaluated using both lab techniques and non-destructive tests, ensuring comprehensive analysis.
  • 3D laser scanning generated detailed weathering maps that informed conservation practices for Tamentfoust fort.
  • Findings enhance understanding of material behavior, supporting the broader aims of heritage conservation.
