Compressive Strength of Dimension Stone (ASTM C-170)

This document summarizes compressive strength and absorption testing of dimension stone samples from a construction project in Zabul Province, Afghanistan. Six stone cube samples were tested for compressive strength, with an average strength of 81.0 MPa for samples tested parallel to bedding and 36.3 MPa for the sample tested perpendicular. Absorption and specific gravity were also tested on three samples, with an average absorption of 0.359% and average bulk specific gravities of 2.708 oven dry and 2.717 saturated surface dry.
