Stone Masonry - Strength
Typical strength of stone masonry:
Material | Crushing (N/mm2) | Tension (N/mm2) | Shear (N/mm2) |
---|---|---|---|
Basalt | 8.5 | 8.6 | 4.3 |
Granite | 96.6 | 3.2 | 5.4 |
Limestone | 53.7 | 2.7 | 4.3 |
Marble | 64.4 | 3.2 | 5.4 |
Sandstone | 53.7 | 1.1 | 3.2 |
Slate | 85.8 | 1.1 | 3.2 |
- 1 N/mm2 = 145 psi
