The high costs of the quarry crushed aggregates (producer costs to which additional railroad transport costs are taken into account) result in the fact that at large distance away from quarry lesser amounts of chippings and crushing sands are provided only. The initiation of the crushed aggregates production manufactured out of steelworks crushed slag. Lidonit, at a competitive delivering price, has led to the first series of laboratory tests. In the first stage two asphalt concrete mixtures were made in cube-shaped and cylinder-shaped (Marshall) test-tubes on which physical and mechanical characteristic values are determined. The results of these first tests outlined the real opportunity of using these products in supplying the roads and streets with asphalt mix for pavements.
