Primeros resultados T1 Petrographic study of alteration in sandstone from Rueda cloister. First results A1 Gisbert, Josep A1 Marín Chaves, C. A1 Andaluz Morillo, N. A1 Delgado Cabriada, S. AB A petrographical study about macroporosity, profiles of deterioration and treatment, has been taken out over seventeen samples from Rueda cloister. These samples have been taken from different placés from the monastery. They are all lithic sandstone with more than 50% of carbonated rock fragments, grain size between 0.4 and 0.9 mm and porosity under 14%. Five kind of deterioration processes have been found: microfissures parallels to the rock surface, cracks and microchannels perpendiculars to the sürfàte, salt precipitation onto or under the surface, black crusts and biological crusts. Several samples have evidences of ancient treatment; this treatment can be: lime mortar, whitewash, some kind of organic compound red-brownish isotrope and gypsum. At last, four kind of profiles of deterioration have been describe according to these results an d to the evolution of macroporosity PB Sociedad Geológica de España YR 1997 FD 1997 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10272/10305 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10272/10305 LA spa DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Huelva RD 31 may 2026
