10ka Nooc ee ugu Sareeya ee Dhagaxa Loo Isticmaalo Dhismaha Dhagax-dhismaha

Laga soo bilaabo Ahraamta ilaa Parthenon, aadanuhu waxay ku dhisayeen dhagaxyo kumanaan sano. Dhagaxyada dabiiciga ah ee aadka loo isticmaalo uguna caansan ee loo isticmaalo dhismaha waxaa ka mid ah basalt, limestone, travertine, iyo slate. Naqshadeeye kasta, qandaraasle, ama dhisme kasta ayaa kuu sheegi doona taas dhagax dabiici ah waa mid si gaar ah u raagaya, taasoo bixisa dib u soo celin aad u wanaagsan maalgashiga.

Dhagxaan aan caadi ahayn

The technical characteristics of different stone such as porosity, compression strength, heat endurance thresholds, and frost resistance, will affect a stone’s application. Stones like basalt, granite, and sandstone fare well for massive construction projects like dams and bridges, whereas travertine, quartzite, and marble work better for interior construction and decoration.

In this blog, we’ll explore different stone types and uses to give you a broad overview of their unique qualities and applications.

Sidee ayuu Dhagaxu uga duwan yahay Dhagaxa?

While stone and rock are used interchangeably, they are different regarding internal structure and composition. Rocks form part of the earth’s crust and are found virtually everywhere, whereas stones are hard substances like limestone or sandstone extracted from rock, for example.

Farqiga ugu weyn ayaa ah in dhagaxu ka weyn yahay oo la burburiyo si loo soo saaro curiyeyaasha macdanta, halka dhagaxa la isku dari karo si loo sameeyo qaybo waxtar u leh dhismaha. Dhagax la'aanteed ma jiraan dhagaxyo.

Whether igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary, rocks used for building materials contain different types of stone that can construct some of the most magnificent architectural feats. There are three main types of rock. Let’s examine them more closely.

Dhagaxa Igneous

Named after the Latin word for fire, Igneous rocks form when hot, molten magma solidifies below the earth’s surface. This type of rock is divided into two groups, intrusive or extrusive, depending on where the molten rock solidifies. Intrusive igneous rock crystallizes below the earth’s surface, and extrusive rocks erupt onto the surface.

Dhagaxa Igneous ee dhismaha waxaa ka mid ah noocyadan dhagaxa ah:

• Granite
• Obsidian
• Gabbro
• Diabase

Dhagaxa Metamorphic

Metamorphic rock starts as one type of rock but due to pressure, heat, and time, gradually transforms into a new rock type. Although it forms deep within the earth’s crust, it's often exposed on our planet’s surface after geological uplift and the erosion of rock and soil above it. These crystalline rocks tend to have a foliated texture.

Dhagaxa Metamorphic ee dhismaha waxaa ka mid ah noocyadan dhagaxa:

• Slate 
• Marble 
• Gneiss
• Quartzite 

dhagax sedimentary

This rock is always formed in layers called “strata” and often contains fossils. Pieces of rock are loosened by weather, then transported to a basin or depression where the sediment is trapped, and lithification (compaction) takes place. The sediment is deposited in flat, horizontal layers, with the oldest layers on the bottom and younger layers on top. 

Waa maxay Dhagaxyada Dhisme ee ugu Badan?

Hoos waxaa ku yaal tobanka nooc ee ugu caansan ee dhagaxa ah ee la isticmaali jiray qarniyo welina sii wata qayb ka mid ah oo loo isticmaalo adduunkeena casriga ah maanta.  

Granite

This coarse-grained intrusive igneous rock is composed chiefly of quartz, feldspar, and plagioclase. Granite gets its signature color speckles from crystallization — the longer the molten rock has to cool, the larger the grains of color. 

Available in white, pink, yellow, gray, and black, this building stone is lauded for its durability.  As the earth’s most durable and common igneous rock, granite waa doorasho aad u fiican oo loogu talagalay dusha sare ee miiska, taallo, laamiyada, buundooyinka, tiirarka, iyo sagxadaha. 

Dhagax ciid

Dhagax ciid waa dhagax sedimentary ah oo qadiimi ah oo laga sameeyay badarka silicate ee ciid cabirkoodu yahay quartz iyo feldspar. A adag oo u adkaysata cimilada, dhagaxan qalabka dhismaha waxaa badanaa loo isticmaalaa in lagu dhejiyo wejiyada iyo darbiyada gudaha, iyo sidoo kale kuraasta beerta, alaabta laamiga, miisaska barafka, iyo geesaha barkadda dabaasha. 

Dhagaxani waxa uu noqon karaa midab kasta sida cammuudda oo kale, laakiin midabada ugu caansan waa tan, bunni, cawl, caddaan, casaan, iyo jaalle. Haddii ay leedahay maaddo quartz sare leh, sandstone xitaa waa la jajabin karaa oo loo isticmaali karaa silica wax soo saarka dhalooyinka. 

Dhagax nuurad

Ka kooban calcite iyo magnesium, dhagaxan jilicsan ee sedimentary sida caadiga ah waa cawl laakiin sidoo kale wuxuu noqon karaa caddaan, jaalle, ama bunni. Marka laga eego dhinaca juquraafiga, dhagaxa nuuradku wuxuu ka samaysan yahay biyaha badda ee qoto dheer ama uumi-baxa biyaha awgeed inta lagu jiro samaynta godad. 

Sifada u gaarka ah dhagaxan ayaa ah in ka kooban yahay, calcite, uu inta badan sameeyay fossilization ee noolaha qolof soo saara iyo dhismaha shacaab. Dhagax nuurad ahaan sida qalab dhisme waxaa loo isticmaalaa codsiyada qaab dhismeedka gidaarada, qurxinta qurxinta, iyo daahyada. 

Basalt

Dark and heavy, this extrusive, igneous rock makes up most of the planet’s oceanic crust. Basalt is black, but after extensive weathering, may turn green or brown. Additionally, it contains some light-colored minerals like feldspar and quartz, but these are difficult to see with the naked eye. 

Qani ku ah birta iyo magnesium, basalt waxaa loo isticmaalaa dhismaha si loo sameeyo baloogyo dhismo, dhagax-dhagax-dhagax, sagxadaha sagxadaha, dhagaxa waddooyinka, ballasts-ka tareenka, iyo taallo. 90% dhammaan dhagaxa foolkaanada waa basalt. 

Marble

Jecel, da'da oo dhan, raaxo iyo faa'iido, marmar waa dhagax metamorphic ah oo qurux badan oo sameysma marka dhagaxa nuuradda la saaro cadaadis sare ama kulayl. Badanaa waxa ku jira macdano kale sida quartz, graphite, pyrite, iyo oxides iron kuwaas oo siinaya midabyo kala duwan oo casaan ilaa brown, cawl, cagaar, madow, ama midab kala duwan. 

Xididdada gaarka ah iyo muuqaalka qurxoon awgeed, marmarka waa dhagaxa ugu fiican ee lagu dhiso taallooyin, qurxinta gudaha, miiska dushooda, farshaxannada, iyo waxyaalaha cusub. Marble cad ee ugu caansan ayaa laga soo qoday Carrara, Italy. 

Slate

Slate waa dhagax dhuuqsan, calafaysan, isku mid ah oo ka soo jeeda dhagaxa shale ee ka kooban dhoobo ama dambaska foolkaanaha. Macdanta dhoobada asalka ah ee shale waxay u beddeshaa micas marka ay la kulmaan heerarka sii kordhaya ee kulaylka iyo cadaadiska. 

Gray in color, slate contains quartz, feldspar, calcite, pyrite, and hematite, among other minerals. It’s a desirable building stone that’s been utilized in construction since ancient Egyptian times. Today, it’s used as roofing, flagging, decorative aggregates, and flooring because of its attractiveness and durability. 

Pumice

Pumice is a porous igneous rock produced during volcanic eruptions. It forms so rapidly that its atoms don’t have time to crystallize, essentially rendering it a solidified foam. While it occurs in various colors like white, gray, blue, cream, green, and brown, it is almost always pale. 

Inkasta oo ay si fiican u-mirtay, dusha dhagaxani waa qallafsan yahay. Burada budada ah waxaa loo isticmaalaa sida isku-darka shubka fudud ee dahaarka, sida dhagaxa dhalaalaysa, iyo noocyada kala duwan ee warshadaha iyo badeecadaha, iyo sidoo kale dhagaxa dhalaalaysa. 

Quartzite

Marka quartz-ka hodanka ku ah dhagaxa ciidda lagu beddelo kulaylka, cadaadiska, iyo dhaqdhaqaaqa kiimikaad ee metamorphism, waxay isu beddeshaa quartzite. Inta lagu jiro hawsha, badarka ciidda iyo sibidhka silika ayaa isku xidha, taasoo keentay shabakad cabsi leh oo isku xidhan badarka quartz. 

Quartzite badanaa waa caddaan ama midab khafiif ah, laakiin alaabada dheeraadka ah ee ay qaadaan biyaha dhulka hoostiisa ayaa keeni kara midabyo cagaar, buluug ama casaan bir ah. Waa mid ka mid ah dhagxaanta ugu wanaagsan ee lagu dhiso sagxadaha miiska, sagxadaha, saqafka saqafka, iyo jaranjarooyinka iyadoo ay ugu wacan tahay muuqaalkiisa marmarka u eg iyo cimri dhererkiisa oo kale ah.

Travertine

Travertine waa nooc ka mid ah dhagaxa nuuradda dhulka ee ay samaysmaan kaydka macdanta ee u dhow ilo dabiici ah. Dhagaxan sedimentary waxa uu leeyahay muuqaal fibro ah ama dhumuc leh waxana uu ku yimaadaa hadhka cad, cagaarka, kareemka, iyo miridhku. Muuqaalkeeda gaarka ah iyo dhawaaqyada dhulka soo jiidashada leh ayaa ka dhigaya mid caan ku ah codsiyada dhismaha. 

This versatile stone variety is commonly used for indoor and outdoor flooring, spa walls, ceilings, facades, and wall cladding. It’s an affordable option compared to other natural stones like marble, yet still maintains a luxurious appeal. 

Alabastar

Gypsum-adag dhexdhexaad ah, alabastar caadi ahaan waa cad oo hufan oo leh hadhuudh lebis fiican leh.

Its small natural grain is visible when held up to the light. Because it’s a porous mineral, this stone can be dyed in a variety of colors. 

It has been used for centuries to make statues, carvings, and other decorative and ornamental work. While the splendor of alabaster is undeniable, it is a soft metamorphic rock that’s only really suitable for indoor applications.

Gabagabo

The many natural stone products on the market and their unique characteristics can make it challenging for contractors and homeowners to select the correct ones for their projects. If you’re new to the process, the first thing to consider is the location of the stone installation. For instance, the type of stones for floor applications will differ if it’s indoors or outdoors. 

Then you’ll need to evaluate the stone’s durability, the fabricator’s warranty, and its grade. There are three grades of natural stone: commercial, standard, and first choice. Standard grade is a good fit for interior applications, like countertops, whereas commercial-grade, may be better for apartment or hotel projects where only a portion of slab is required, and large imperfections can be avoided.
