It considers information obtained from ageing tests performed under laboratory conditions and by exposure to outdoor agents. Several lithological groups were considered, with sedimentary carbonate rocks being the most frequently studied lithotypes and silicate metamorphic rocks being the group with scarcer information. In terms of ageing tests, salt weathering was the most frequent one while there was a noticeable lesser amount of information from tests with biological colonization. The collected data showed the influence of diverse features, from specific minerals to whole-rock properties and the presence of heterogeneities. These information are discussed in the context of formulating a general framework for stone decay.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/geosciences10030091","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,2]],"date-time":"2020-03-02T06:34:23Z","timestamp":1583130863000},"page":"91","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Rock Features and Alteration of Stone Materials Used for the Built Environment: A Review of Recent Publications on Ageing Tests"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3943-3340","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlos","family":"Alves","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"LandS\/Lab2PT-Landscapes, Heritage and Territory laboratory (FCT-AUR\/04509) and Earth Sciences Department\/School of Sciences, University of Minho, 4710-057 Braga, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1093-1522","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlos","family":"Figueiredo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CERENA\u2014Centro de Recursos Naturais e Ambiente, FCT- UID\/ECI\/04028\/2019, DEcivil, Instituto Superior T\u00e9cnico, University of Lisbon, 1049-001 Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Jorge","family":"Sanjurjo-S\u00e1nchez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Institute of Geology, Universidade da Coru\u00f1a, ESCI, Campus de Elvi\u00f1a, 15071 A Coru\u00f1a, Spain"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2019, December 30).
