Fire resistance of the Mt. Epomeo Green Tuff, a widely-used building stone on Ischia Island (Italy)

Fire resistance of the Mt. Epomeo Green Tuff, a widely-used building stone on Ischia Island (Italy)

The use of Mt. Epomeo Green Tuff (MEGT) as a building stone is widespread on Ischia Island (Italy). We assess here the fire resistance of MEGT by thermally stressing samples to temperatures up to 1000 °C. Porosity and uniaxial compressive strength increase and decrease from 44% and 4.5 MPa at ambien...
