Abrasion resistance is the most important parameter that determines the usage areas and
service life of natural stones. Especially, in cold climates where freezing–thawing (F–T) is …

Natural stones are widely used in the construction sector and the physico-mechanical
features are very important for them in terms of areas of use. Abrasion is an important …

From the past to the present, natural building stone has been used as construction materials
in important buildings, architectural works, and civil engineering projects due to its …

The research presented here investigates the usability of trachydacitic, an unexploited
material that occurred in nature, as aggregate in the construction of concrete/rigid …

In this study, the usability of the wide wheel abrasion test (WA) on rock cores using a newly
designed core holder apparatus is investigated. The WA test which has been proposed to …

The present investigation deals with wear and machining behaviors of manufacture nitinol
composite through Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM). The major composition of nickel and …

Particulate matters (PM) are atmospheric aerosols that can derive from anthropogenic and
natural sources, directly affecting air quality. Particularly, fine grain-sized particulate matters …

Natural stones used as floor and wall coverings are exposed to many different abrasive
forces, so it is essential to choose suitable materials for wear resistance in terms of the life of …

Due to the global demand for dimension stones, fast and reliable evaluation tools are
essential for assessing the quality of dimension stones. For this reason, this study aims to …

This present study explored the Böhme abrasion value (BAV) of natural stones through
artificial neural networks (ANNs). For this purpose, a detailed literature survey was …
