SECTION A
AGGREGATES - ROCKS
Aggregates represent the main material used in the construction
industry to produce concrete, bituminous conglomerates,
plasters, road and railways subgrades, etc. International and
EN European Standards require many tests on different aggregate
properties, including mechanical, physical, geometrical,
density, strength and degradability.
A special focus is placed on Rocks with the study of its mechanical
characteristics, when subjected to stress conditions such
as excavations, handlings, quarries and foundations.
