RT Journal Article T1 Cuantificación de la porosidad en Areniscas mediante análisis digital de imágenes T1 Quantification of the porosity on sandstone using Digital Image Analysis A1 Buj, Óscar A1 Gisbert, Josep AB The aim of this research was the characterization of the porous system and pore size distribution by bothpolarisation optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy using digital image processing. Thethree stones studies belong to the Miocene age and are found in the Ebro basin: Ayerbe, Uncastillo andAlcañiz sandstones. These sandstones have an historical importance in the architectural heritage of Aragon.The results obtained from digital image analysis have been crosschecked with the results obtain by hydrictests. The results have demonstrated that image analysis is an important and objective tool for texturalstudies of natural stone. In addition, pore spectra can be used to estimate physical parameters.Porosity governs strength physical-mechanical characteristics, chemical behaviour and hydraulic conductivity.Therefore, the study of both geometry and pore size distribution are indispensable for understanding thefuture behaviour of natural stone YR 2006 FD 2006 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10272/8458 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10272/8458 LA spa DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Huelva RD 31 may 2026
