Σύνοψη

The scope of this project is to give general information about aggregates which are used in highway road construction, giving emphasis to their characteristics and properties and also pointing their engineering significance.
The first section of the project is the Introduction. It describes the desirable characteristics of ideal aggregates for the construction of flexible pavement.
The second section describes the geological and petrological characteristics of aggregates.
The third section describes the main operations in the production process, quarrying operations, crushing operations and screening operations.
The fourth section considers the tests and procedures used to describe or evaluate the physical mechanical and, chemical properties for aggregates.
The fifth section describes the desirable properties of aggregates used in unbound pavements.
Also macadam bases and specifications are given.
The sixth section describes the desirable properties and influences of aggregates used in Bituminous bound construction materials. Also the types of bituminous surfacing are pointed out.
