General Information
Overview
EN 14146:2004 - published by CEN - specifies methods for determining the dynamic modulus of elasticity of natural stone by measuring the fundamental resonance frequency. The standard establishes the procedure to measure the stone’s basic resonance frequency and the subsequent calculation of its dynamic elastic modulus, enabling consistent material characterization across testing laboratories and industry users.
Key topics and requirements
The standard focuses on the technical procedure and calculation steps needed to derive dynamic elastic properties from resonance measurements. Key topics typically covered include:
- Measurement principle: determination of the specimen’s fundamental resonance frequency as the basis for the dynamic modulus calculation.
- Test procedure: stepwise instructions for performing resonance measurements to ensure repeatability and comparability.
- Calculation method: conversion of measured resonance frequency into the dynamic modulus of elasticity, including necessary parameters and units.
- Reporting requirements: essential information that must accompany test results for traceability and interpretation (test conditions, specimen identification, measured frequencies, calculated modulus).
- Quality and uncertainty considerations: requirements to ensure measurements are reliable and suitable for engineering use.
Note: EN 14146:2004 is a European (CEN) method tailored for natural stone; consult the full text for exact procedural and reporting details.
Applications
EN 14146:2004 is useful wherever reliable elastic-property data for natural stone are required:
- Materials testing laboratories seeking standardized methods for stone characterization.
- Quarries and stone producers performing quality control and product specification.
- Engineers and designers needing elastic property data for structural analysis, repair or reuse of stone elements.
- Conservation specialists and heritage professionals assessing mechanical characteristics of historic masonry and monuments.
- Research organizations studying mechanical behavior and comparative material testing of natural stone varieties.
Using EN 14146 results helps improve consistency across projects, supports specification compliance, and informs decisions on suitability of stone for architectural or structural applications.
