Economic Exploitation of Gravel in Place of Granite in Concrete Production

~ D6905eb5546acb877abe7148d0cf802b.200x200
The paper investigated the application of gravel as partial economic replacement of granite in concrete production. Concrete was produced using granite/gravel combination in varying percentages of 90/10, 80/20, 70/30, 60/40, 50/50, 40/60, 30/70, 20/80 and 10/90. Concrete made from 100 % granite and 100 % gravel served controls while other constituents of concrete were kept constant. Two...
