heal.abstract	In the present work the most characteristic mechanical and physical properties of ten Hellenic marbles were investigated. The marbles, five of which were white and the other five coloured, are the most representative ones found in Greece. Among those studied are the famous marbles of Paros and Penteli, the latter being the basic material of the Parthenon. After a rough classification and the determination of their composition, the following properties of each marble were determined: specific gravity; apparent density; behaviour in water; coefficient of thermal conductivity; coefficient of linear thermal expansion and its variation with temperature; strength in various loading forms; and dynamic modulus of elasticity as well as the resistance to frost and corrosion. All the results obtained are given in diagrammatic and tabular forms. On the basis of these results, useful conclusions regarding the utility of each marble for various applications are derived. © 1980 Elsevier Scientific Publishing Company.	en
