Abstract
The mechanical strength of Gualba marble (Barcelona, Spain), under compressive stresses is determined. Experimen- tal results appear to be very low, mean value 391 kg/cma (5.560 psi), compared with those shown by some other mar- bles : 500-700 kg/cma, (7.000-10.000 psi). The nature of the experimental failure of this rock is ana- lized.
