Synopsis The paper reports tests to determine the relative rates of erosion of siliceous-gravel and limestone-aggregate OPC concretes subjected to sulphuric acid concentrations of 0·0016% and 0.02% by weight. Care was taken to simulate conditions not too divorced from practice. The limestone-aggregate concrete eroded to present a relatively smooth surface with no detritus. In contrast, the

The limestone acts as a seed crystal for the cement, better distributing the reaction products and increasing the reactivity of the cement. As there is always unhydrated cement in the concrete, this change will have no real measurable effect on the use of fly ash. The cement might have a reduced water demand, and the coarser cement gradation

Limestone aggregate concrete In several regions, such as around Marseille, Nice, Aibi, hard limestone has been quarried for aggregate, mostly dolomitic limestone, for a long time. However, the alluvial deposits of the great river basins have been over-exploited and the opening of new sand/gravel pits is severely restricted.

Fire Endurance of Limestone Aggregate Concrete. Q: Does limestone aggregate give better fire resistance than other aggregates? A: Carbonate aggregates, of which limestone is one, have generally slightly higher fire resistance than siliceous aggregates. Some gravel aggregates are a mixture of carbonate and siliceous aggregates, and these would

Crushed vs Round aggregate in concrete. ACI 318-05 and -08 does not appear to reward the designer for specifying crushed aggregate over rounded (usually "river rock") in structural concrete. Chapter 4 refers to ASTM C33, and leaves it at that. Certainly crushed rock has better interlock, and must have better shear friction for roughened surfaces.

First, limestone aggregates are generally bulkier. They are also generally more jagged compared to gravel. This allows the cement to bond to limestone aggregates better than the smooth surfaces of gravel. This can lead to stronger, more durable concrete.

Introduction. Limestones, which are widespread in the area of Istanbul, Turkey, form the major source of local crushed rock aggregates. They are primarily used in concrete for the construction industry. The rapidly growing population and economy in Turkey have resulted in intensive building and construction activity in recent years.

Limestone was used as the reference aggregate. Limestone aggregate in two sizes (4–16 and 16–31.5 mm) was used in reference concretes. Ferrochromium slag obtained from a ferrochromium production plant was used in two mixture series. Particle shapes and water absorptions of the slag aggregates were similar to those of crushed limestone
