1.1 This specification covers the material characteristics, physical requirements, and sampling appropriate to the selection of travertine for general building and structural purposes.

1.2 Dimension travertine shall include stone that is sawed, cut, split, or otherwise finished or shaped and shall specifically exclude molded, cast, or otherwise artificially aggregated units composed of fragments, and also crushed and broken stone.

This specification covers the material characteristics, physical requirements, and sampling method appropriate to the selection of travertine dimension stone for general building and structural purposes. Dimension travertine shall include stone that is sawed, cut, split, or otherwise finished or shaped, and shall specifically exclude molded, cast, or otherwise artificially aggregated units composed of fragments, and also crushed and broken stone. The physical property requirements to which travertine stones shall adhere to are absorption by weight, density, compressive strength, modulus of rupture, abrasion resistance, and flexural strength.
