Σύνοψη

The scope of this project is to give general, information about
aggregates giving emphasis to their relative density and water
absorption values, Impact and crushing value, ten per cent fines
value, resistance to Abrasion by use of the Los Angeles machine
and soundness determination.

In order to satisfy the objectives of the project this was
divited into seven chapters- In the first chapter, the importance
of the correct aggregate testing is given. Also the importance of
correct sampling is emphasised.

In the second chapter the identification of the importance of
aggregate durability is discussed. Also the problem of aggregates
durability is strongly emphasised.

In the third chapter the identification of the factors affecting
rock durability in both weathering processes on the rock and
degradation processes on crushed rock aggregate in engineering
time, are discussed.

In the four tli chapter- description of the engineering tests used
for the Assesment of rock/Aggregate durability, are emphasised.

In the fifth chapter informations are given about diabase and
basal group. Also informations are given about Gedoglral Factors
influencing the mechanical properties of the aggregate.

About the diabase quarries in Cyprus are also discussed.

The sixth chapter is experimental. In this chapter the results
and the correlation between engineering tests (graphs) of the
experiments done are given.

Finally in the seventh chapter conclusions and fotographs are
shown.
