Abstract: The physical, mechanical and morphological properties of a rock undergo substantial change when exposed to the extreme temperatures that are encountered in processes such as nuclear waste disposal, underground coal gasification (UCG) and building fires. An attempt has been made in this article to study the different physical and morphological changes that occur within Indian sandstone due to thermal treatment. Tests were performed on a thermally treated air-cooled and non-cooled set of samples in order to observe the change in the physico-morph...
