RT Journal Article T1 Caracterización de las Calizas de Almayate (Malaga) y evaluación de la calidad técnica como Materiales de Construcción T1 Characterization of Amayate Limestone (Malaga) and evaluation of its technical quality as building stone A1 Carretero León, María Isabel A1 Mayoral Alfaro, Eduardo A1 Galán Huertos, Emilio AB Since XVIII century, Miocene-Pliocene limestones from Almayate (Málaga) were used In historical buildings o f Western Andalusian Heritage. They are sandy bioclastic limestones, w it h high p o ro s ity and water absorption, and low mechanical strength. These properties correspond to a low technical quality stone as building material, which should prevent its use for construction. Presently buildings made up of Almayate limestones should be treated with appropiate protective products.
