Abstract

Hardened limestone (Marbled limestone) is one of the most common building materials generally, in the Eastern Mediterranean region particularly in Egypt. Sheikh Fadl quarries considered as a type locality for hardened limestone production. Five representative samples of this limestone were selected from one quarry at Sheikh Fadl, Red Sea to study their different characteristics. The aim of this paper is mainly to study the positive effect of Nanolime as consolidates on different physico-mechanical and durability of this hardened limestone. Finally, using nanolime as consolidating material leads to occurrence of observed enhancement in physico-mechanical average values of Sheikh Fadl and also their durability particularly against salt weathering.
