High Anisotropy Class
high_anisotropy_class
Rock anisotropy class with strength ratio between four and six. It is a defect or QC term used when checking stone.

Used with
Maximum bending stress stone sustains before failure.
Efflorescence is visible crystalline salt deposit on masonry or stone surfaces from moisture transport. A defect/appearance issue managed by detailing and cleaning.
Abrasion resistance is how well a stone surface withstands wear—important for floors and paving. Reported from standard tests on datasheets.
Bowing is concave or convex deformation of a stone panel after installation—often from moisture or thermal effects. A defect/performance risk on façades.
Water absorption is the percentage of water a stone takes up after immersion—key for exterior and wet-area suitability. Reported on technical datasheets with test method.
Breaking load is the maximum applied load causing specimen failure in strength tests. Technical datasheet property for structural design.
Frost resistance is the ability of stone to withstand freeze–thaw cycles—critical for exterior paving and cladding in cold climates. Datasheet property.
Breakage means breaks or cracks in stone material during handling, transport, or use. Quality/claims language on packing and insurance.
Interconnected pore volume accessible to fluids, expressed as a percentage.
Rift is a preferred cleavage or splitting plane in stone, used when producing natural cleft faces. Technical cutting language.
Surface scaling or layer detachment caused by stone deterioration. Quality or defect language used in inspection and claims.
Spalling is surface flaking, chipping, or fragment detachment on stone—often from freeze–thaw or impact. Defect/appearance risk language.
