Özet

Marbles are widely used as construction materials because of their high resistivity to common conditions, and to their aesthetic appeal. Aesthetic qualities such as color, gloss and polishability are important for rock used as constructions materials. But marbles as building stones show complex weathering phenomena. Thermal effects are important weathering factors affecting the aesthetical and physico-mechanical properties of marbles.
