Aggregate materials such as sand and gravel play a vital role in construction and civil engineering. Their use is varied and broad, since they are used in the production of concrete, asphalt, mortar and other products.
The quality of aggregate materials directly influences the resistance, durability and stability of the built structures. Therefore, it is crucial to carefully select these materials, considering their composition, granulometry and physical characteristics to guarantee optimal results in engineering and construction projects.
Cement is an inorganic material used in the construction industry, both on construction sites and during the production of semi-finished products.
When mixed with water, cement becomes a paste with adhesive properties: therefore it is considered a hydraulic binder and properly defined as hydraulic cement. This paste is generally used as a binder with inert solid materials such as sand, gravel and small stones to produce mortar and prepare different types of concrete (lightweight, reinforced, prestressed concrete).
Mineral aggregates play a crucial role in reinforcing composite materials such as concrete and asphalt, improving overall strength. Complying with International Standards, these aggregates undergo various precise tests to ensure quality.
Likewise, rocks also require attention, especially when they are subjected to excavation and manipulation, which causes alterations in their stratum. Consequently, in-depth studies on the properties of intact rocks become essential.
