Abstract

The present work attempts to determine the most suitable surface processing techniques and environment conditions to reduce the slipping risk of pedestrians while walking barefoot and wearing shoes on natural stone floor coverings. Coefficients of friction (COF) values have been found by the natural stone formed in 15 different types, four surface processing techniques (polished, honed, patinated and tumbled) and two different (ramp and pendulum) tests. It was found that the parameters that affected COF values of the natural stones were environment conditions (wet, dry and lubricated) and the applied surface processing techniques. The natural stones were then grouped according to places for safe utilization depending on COF values and surface roughness, according to the statistical results.

Özet

Çalışmada yalınayak ve ayakkabı ile yürürken doğal taş zemin kaplamalarında yayaların kayma riskini azaltmak için en uygun yüzey işleme tekniklerini ve çevre koşullarını belirlemeye çalışılmıştır. Sürtünme katsayıları (COF) değerleri 15 farklı türde oluşmuş doğal taş, dört yüzey işleme teknikleri (cilalı, honlu, patinatolu ve eskitilmiş) ve iki farklı test (eğik düzlem ve pandül) ile belirlenmiştir. Doğal taşların COF değerlerini etkileyen parametrelerin ortam koşulları (yaş, kuru ve yağlı) ve uygulanan yüzey işleme teknikleri olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Doğal taşların istatistiksel sonuçlara göre COF değerlerine bağlı olarak güvenli kullanım alanlarına göre sınıflandırılmıştır.
