abstract = {The influence of facies on the petrophysical properties and durability of the Classic Travertine is
studied. This travertine is a light travertine quarried in Turkey, which is widely used in Spain as building
stone and is extremely similar to the Travertino Romano Classico. Its physical properties (pore structure
and hygric, thermal, acoustic and mechanical properties) and its resistance to durability tests (freeze-thaw
and salt crystallization action) corroborate the good performance of this travertine as a dimensional stone.
Its structure and fenestral porosity are the main causes of rock anisotropy. The results show that rock
anisotropy has a particularly important influence on the hygric and mechanical behavior of the Classic
Travertine, while it has a minor effect on wave velocities and stone durability},
