Weathering Processes and Mechanisms Caused by Capillary Waters and Pigeon Droppings on Porous Limestones

David Benavente et al.

Summary: This study investigates the physical and chemical effects of salt weathering on biocalcarenites and biocalcrudites in the Basilica of Our Lady of Succour in Aspe, Spain. The formation of various salts and crystals is associated with rising capillary water and pigeon droppings, with single salts showing non-equilibrium shapes and double salts having crystals corresponding to near-equilibrium form. The dissolution of limestone driven by acidic water lixiviated from pigeon droppings is a critical weathering process affecting the architectural elements of the facades.

Weathering of serpentinite stone due to in situ generation of calcium and magnesium sulfates

R. Navarro et al.

Summary: This study provides a thorough examination of the main features, decay causes, and mechanisms of serpentinites on the main facade of the 16th century Royal Chancery in Granada, Spain. Various decay factors are identified, with chemical weathering of sulfides and the formation of sulfate salts considered the main cause of deterioration. Unsuitable restoration treatments, environmental pollution, and the proximity of slabs to the ground also contribute to their decay. This research enhances understanding of the deterioration process of serpentinite ornaments and proposes appropriate conservation measures.

A review of theoretical salt weathering studies for stone heritage

Chiaki T. Oguchi et al.

Summary: Salt weathering can cause significant deterioration to a variety of materials, and despite nearly two centuries of study, there is still no universally accepted theoretical framework to explain its mechanisms. Further research is needed to develop more precise theories to elucidate the complexities of salt weathering.
