Capillarity test monitored by X-ray computer tomography in sandstones. A comparative study with standard methods

Computerized axial tomography studies were conducted to analyze water movements inside rocks (specifically in La Marina sandstone, used to build some of the historic monuments in Asturias, northern Spain). The X-ray images of water uptake by the stone interior recorded during capillarity tests provi...
