| Summary: | This paper presents an analysis and the test results of certain physical
properties of the rock materials excavated from quarries in Serbia. The four
rock aggregates, considered in this analysis, are used for building the
driveway constructions' layers on roads, streets, airports and base layers on
railways. To that purpose, both the general and specific technical properties
(petrographic, physical, mechanical and technological) of those rocks must
be known to users. The four rocks, whose physical properties are analyzed,
are the most important types of the building stones: limestone, dolomite
marble, calcite-dolomite marble and andesite. Their physical properties
tested included volumetric mass, specific mass (density), porosity and water
absorption. The service life, reparation jobs and maintenance procedures of
the construction machinery parts, which come into direct contact with
building materials like rocks and stones, strongly depend on those stones'
properties. The four tested rock materials belong into a group of the
massive rocks with various porosities and tendency to absorb water. |
