Static-dynamic mechanical behaviour of intrusive igneous building stones and a mineralogy-based predictive model for the dynamic increase factor

Key Points

• Mechanical behaviour is essential for understanding the durability of igneous rocks in construction, especially under dynamic conditions.
• The research highlights a predictive model based on mineralogical composition, showing its relevance for engineering applications.
• Observational analysis integrates static and dynamic mechanical behaviours to assess potential risks in building materials.
• Developing accurate predictive models may enhance safety and performance in structural engineering using igneous stones.
