Assessment of the physical and mechanical variations of some travertines depend on the bedding plane orientation under physical weathering conditions

•Travertine is one of the most commonly used in construction projects.•F-T cycles cause more change in UCS value than T-S cycles for travertine.•Travertine strength is more affected by perpendicular than parallel loading.•Bedding direction controls the durability of travertine under F-T and T-S cycl...
