TESTING OF NATURAL STONE - SLIP RESISTANCE USING A PENDULUM

Abstract

This paper presents an examination of natural stone to slip resistance. The test is carried out according to the BAS EN 14231:2009 standard. This standard specifies a test method for determining the slip resistance value of the surface of the exposed face on natural stone elements intended to be used for flooring in buildings. The aim of the paper is to present the equipment, auxiliary means, samples and the test procedure. Tests are carried out on stone samples with different finishes. The test surfaces are: cut, polished and flamed. After the tests, the authors analyze and evaluate the obtained results. The results of this scientific research were presented for the first time as part of the 4th international symposium Herzegovina Land of Stone.
