- Abstract
This study examines the application of non-destructive techniques, particularly ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV), for evaluating the structural soundness and deterioration patterns of limestone. Comprehending the mechanical and physical features of limestone is crucial for maximizing its utilization, considering its vital role in the cement industry and building. The study quantifies ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) in different limestone specimens using varying transducer frequencies to analyze these features and evaluate the degree of weathering. The research highlights the efficacy of UPV as a cost-effective and uncomplicated tool by examining the elements that influence velocity fluctuations and establishing statistical correlations. The major findings emphasize the usefulness of UPV in forecasting limestone qualities and tracking the course of weathering. This provides a viable alternative to the more difficult techniques of extracting specimens for mechanical evaluation. This study enhances the broader application of non-destructive testing in geotechnical engineering by offering insights that improve the efficiency and sustainability of limestone use in building and cement manufacture.
