Abstract
This master's thesis focuses on the determination of physical and mechanical parameters of ornamental stone from Cava Lorgino in Northern Italy, with a primary objective of creating a numerical modeling for quarry exploitation activities. Four distinct types of metamorphic rock exploited in the quarry and defined here as classic, blue, brown, and black marble, were analyzed by measurement and laboratory tests to define the physical and mechanical properties of the rock. Since this type of rock shows an anisotropic features two different analysis directions were considered: parallel (verso) and orthogonal (contro) to the foliation plane. With this aim specimen with different shape and directions (cubic, prismatic, and cylindrical) were collected to carry out a range of physical measurements and mechanical laboratory tests.
These tests included ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) measurements to determine shear and compression wave velocity, subsequently enabling the calculation of elastic-dynamic parameters like Young's modulus, shear modulus, bulk modulus, and Poisson's ratio
