Abstract
This paper deals with the effect that fire or high temperature has on natural stone. A lot of historic buildings have suffered fires, either accidentally or from warfare. This topic had not received much attention till the latest time. In case of fires all attention was focused on protection of human lives and the damage to historic buildings was only addressed subsequently. Studies like the present one try to convince authorities to solve the problem for the conservation of burnt built stone heritage.
