Stone

Stone is a hard and solid mineral of which rock is made. It is the result from several geologic processes. Stone is the most durable and known material that has been used for its hardness, toughness, impermeability, workability, thermal conductivity, power density and the chemical elements it has. Also, there are different types of stonework which are rubber and ashlar mansonry. Rubber is the cheapest and simpler stonework and it consists of broken stone of irregular size, shape and texture. Ashlar mansonry is a prepared stone work of any type of stone and they were used in the construction of many old buildings as an alternative to brick.=====

Stone is a material that has been used since the primitive age to the creation of tools, then used as building material and yet it is still used. This material is widely used in construction for its accessibility, because it is found in nature and for its most important properties: durability and toughness. Despite having some disadvantages such as its difficulty to transport and cut, it offers several advantages over environmental assaults, resists wear and atmospheric effects. It is used in foundations and walls, facades and architectural elements, underground structures and bridges. Although it has been replaced by cheaper and more efficient manufactured products, it is still widely used as a surface veneer for its practical and expressive qualities.=====
