| Abstract: | We have evaluated the effects of condensed water on limestone surfaces through a procedure that foresaw the cooling of the samples before their exposition to the open air, so that the condensation phenomena could occur easily. The effects of the condensed water were evaluated by measuring the weight change of the samples, through SEM observations and analysis of the 3-D profile, using laser profilometer. The results show the weak action of condensed water on the stone surface, particularly if compared with that of rain. |
