“…Black crust formation is related to dust deposition even at bridges that are found in rural areas, as was shown in the previous studies (Török et al 2011). Fine-grained sandstone ashlars show typical weathering features such as scaling and flaking that are very similar to sandstone described from other parts of the World (Turkington and Paradise 2005;Warke et al 2006). The damage is related to freeze-thaw cycles, or in some cases, to salt-induced or thermal cycles (Smith et al 2002).…”

Stone masonry arch bridges in North Hungary represent cultural heritage values. For the maintenance and preservation of these bridges detailed mapping of lithologies and weathering forms are required. The purpose of this paper is to present the identified lithotypes, their conditions (weathering grade) and their petrophysical properties by using in situ lithological mapping, documentation of weathering forms, non-destructive tests and laboratory analyses. Furthermore these analyses demonstrate the difficulties of characterization and diagnostics of the historical construction materials. Additionally the results of condition assessments and the properties of the four different dimension stones from four different sites provide examples for the large dissimilarities regarding the strength parameters. The above-listed parameters are required as input data for stability calculations and modeling of these structures.

“…The paper uses the permeability data along with geostatistical techniques (for the first time) to quantify surface change and to build on a large body of work on salt weathering (cited in the Introduction, see also Smith et al, 2005;Turkington and Paradise, 2005, for a historical perspective on the development of the subject).…”

The availability of water and soluble nutrients also encourages the growth of organisms responsible for biodeterioration [6].…”

Sandstone is an important cultural heritage material, in both architectural and natural settings, such as neolithic rock art panels. The majority of deterioration effects in porous materials such as sandstone are influenced by the presence and movement of water through the material. The presence of water within the porous network of a material results in changes in the optical coherence tomography signal intensity that can be used to monitor the wetting front of water penetration of dry porous materials at various depths. The technique is able to detect wetting front velocities from 1 cm s _1 to 10~6 cms -1 , covering the full range of hydraulic conductivities likely to occur in natural sandstones from pervious to impervious.
