A harmonized dataset and exploratory non-destructive screening framework for characterizing physical and mechanical interrelationships in traditional heritage m... (opens in new tab)

Characterizing the mechanical and thermal properties of heterogeneous natural building materials, including traditional stones and earth-based composites, presents significant engineering challenges. This study proposes an exploratory non-destructive analytical framework to examine potential proxy relationships among physical, mechanical, and hygrothermal properties of traditional heritage materials. Because the dataset consists of seven aggregated material classes, the results should be inte...
