Overview

Historical materials are analyzed for physical, chemical, and mechanical properties, guiding restoration efforts.

Key Points

  • To assess the properties of original building materials used in the Old Armenian Church through various analyses.
  • Carried out XRD, SEM, Raman, and FTIR analyses for chemical and mineralogical compositions.
  • Used TGA to examine thermal behaviors of materials.
  • Conducted tests for unit volume weight, specific gravity, compactness, porosity, and water absorption.
  • Employed compressive strength tests along with Schmidt hammer and UPV measurements for mechanical properties.
  • Materials exhibit a carbonate-based mineralogical composition with dominance of calcite-bonded systems.
  • Physical and mechanical tests show materials have a compact structure.
  • Presence of microcracks and weathering processes noted in certain areas.
