Preliminary observations on the impact of complex stress histories on sandstone response to salt weathering: laboratory simulations of process combinations
S McCabe, BJ Smith, PA Warke - Environmental Geology, 2007 - Springer
Historic sandstone structures carry an inheritance, or a 'memory', of past stresses that the
stone has undergone since its placement in a façade. This inheritance, which conditions …

The use and meanings of 'time of wetness' in understanding building stone decay
S McCabe, P Brimblecombe, BJ Smith… - Quarterly Journal of …, 2013 - lyellcollection.org
Moisture is a well-documented, and crucial, control on the nature of stone decay. The term
