Quantifying 450 years of limestone weathering induced by salt crystallization on fortifications in Malta and Gozo

Résumé

SfM photogrammetry and on-site tests were carried out on Maltese fortifications. A two-rate weathering regime was highlighted within the building limestones. Cohesiveness and water uptake capacity were identified as controlling factors. There is no straightforward correlation between durability and surface hardness.
