Foreword
This document (EN 14580:2005) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 246 “Natural stones”, the
secretariat of which is held by UNI.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or
by endorsement, at the latest by October 2005, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest
by October 2005.
This document is one of the series of draft standards for tests on natural stone.

1 Scope
The document specifies a method to determine the static elastic modulus of natural stone in uniaxial compression.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references,
only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any
amendments) applies.
EN 1926, Natural stone test methods – Determination of compressive strength
EN 12390-4, Testing hardened concrete – Part 4: Compressive strength – Specification for testing machines
3 Principle
The longitudinal deformations of a specimen under basic and upper uniaxial compressive stresses are measured.
From these values the static elastic modulus is calculated.
4 Symbols and definitions
E static elastic modulus in Megapascals (MPa);
b
σ basic stress, of approximately 2 % of the mean value of the tested compressive strength, prior to the third
u
loading cycle, in MPa;
σ upper stress, of approximately 33 % of the mean value of the tested compressive strength, during the third
o
loading cycle in MPa;
ε mean unitary deformation under the basic stress at point A (see Figure 2);
u
ε mean unitary deformation under the upper stress at point B (see Figure 2).
