“…One of the most common NDT techniques to estimate the mechanical properties of building materials is the ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) method, which has been proved to be useful to identify the mechanical properties, anisotropy, compactness and presence of discontinuities in rocks (7)(8)(9)(10)(11). Several works have applied this technique to assess the state of conservation of historical buildings (8,(12)(13)(14). UPV also has been used in combination with other NDT techniques, such as ground-penetrating radar, which has a wide range and allows high resolution of up to ten centimeters from a centimeter (14), and the Leeb rebound hardness test (7).…”

These combinations of two NDT techniques can provide more information than a single technique, particularly if they are sensitive to different parameters (15).…”

Nondestructive testing techniques have attracted growing interest in the last few years due to their ability to assess material properties without damaging the specimens. The free-free resonance method is a nondestructive testing technique based on the analysis of the natural frequencies of a sample. This study presents and discusses the applicability of this technique, traditionally used on soils, for the mechanical characterization of rocks. With this aim, the free-free resonance method is used to obtain the dynamic elastic modulus and shear modulus of four carbonate rocks that have been widely used as construction materials in southern Spain. The results from the nondestructive evaluation of dry and saturated rocks, in combination with petrographic characterization and uniaxial compression tests, make it possible to assess the existing relationships between the mechanical properties of carbonate rocks and to evaluate the impact of porosity and moisture content on their mechanical behavior.
