    DETERMINATION OF DURABILITY OF

    FOREWORD

    0.1 This Indian Standard ( First Revision ) was adopted by the Indian
    Standards Institution on 8 October 1974, after the draft finalized by the
    Stones Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering
    Division Council.
    0.2 Building stones are available in large quantity in various parts of the
    country and to choose and utilize them for their satisfactory performance it is
    necessary to know the various strength properties determined according to
    standard procedure.
    This standard had, therefore, been formulated to
    cover the standard method for determining the durability ( soundness ) of
    various stones. This standard was published in 1957 and has been revised
    based on the actual use of the standard in the past 17 years and the
    experience gained in testing of building stones for these properties in the
    This method of test is presvarious research laboratories of this country.
    cribed so as to find out the capacity of stone to resist disintegration and
    decomposition.
    0.3 In reporting the results of a test or analysis made in accordance with
    this standard, if the final value, observed or calculated, is to be rounded off,
    it shall be done in accordance with IS : 2-1960*.
    1. SCOPE
    1.1 This standard lays down the procedure for testing the durability
    ( soundness) of natural building stones used for constructional purposes.
    2. SELECTION OF SAMPLE
    2.1 The sample shall be selected to represent a true average of the type or
    grade of stone under consideration.
    Rules

    for rounding

    off numerical

    values

    2.2 The sample shall be selected from the quarried stone or taken from
    natural rock, as described in 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 and shall be of adequate size
    to permit the preparation of the requisite number of test pieces,
    2.2.1 Stonesfrom Ledges or Quarries - The ledge or quarry face of the stone
    shall be inspected to determine any variation in diierent strata. Differences
    in colour, texture and structure shall be observed.
    Separate samples of
    stone weighing at least 25 kg each of the unweathered specimens shall be
    obtained from all strata that appear to vary in colour, texture and structure.
    Pieces that have been damaged by blasting, driving wedges, heating, etc,
    shall not be included in the sample.
    2.2.2 Field Stone and Boulders-A
    detailed inspection of the stone and
    boulders over the area shall be made where the supply is to be obtained. The
    different kinds of stones and their conditions at various quarry sites shall be
    recorded. Separate samples for each class of stone that would be considered
    for use in construction as indicated by visual inspection shall be selected.
    2.3 When perceptible variations occur in the quality of rock, as many
    sampIes as are necessary for determining the range in properties shall be
    selected.
    3. TEST PIECES
    3.1 The test pieces shall
    cylinders.

    be cylinders,

    50 mm in diameter

    and km high

    3.2 Three test pieces shall be used for conducting the test.
    4. PROCEDURE

    4.1 The test pieces shall be dried for 24 h and weighed. They shall then be
    suspended in super saturated solution of sodium sulphate decahydrate for 16
    to 18 h at room temperature 20 to 30C. These shall then be air dried for
    half an hour and then be dried in an oven at 105 f 5C for 4 hours. These
    shall then be cooled to room temperature ( 20 to, 30C) and the cycle of
    operation shall be repeated for 30 cycles.
    4.2 The test shall be continued to complete 30 cycles. After the completio
    of the final cycle and after the test pieces have been cooled to room
    temperature ( 20 to 30C ), the test pieces shall be.thoroughly freed of tht
    sodium sulphate solution by repeated washing, if necessary, as determined by
    the reaction of the wash water with barium chloride ( BaC12 ). The test
    pieces shall be weighed after every five cycles and the change in weight due
    to disintegration noted.

    IS : 1126- 1974

    4.3 The

    test pieces shall be examined


    development of cracks or spalling.

    5. EVALUATION

    for

    RESULTS

    5.1 If Wr is the original weight of the specimen and WZ is the weight of the
    specimen after completion of 30 cycles of the test (see 4.2 ), the change in
    weight shall be reported as equal to

    5.2 The average of the three results shall be calculated


    durability value of the specimen.

    5.3 The durability

    and taken

    of the stone shall be expressed in percentage

    as the

    as change

    in the weight.
