Free mica grains in crushed rock aggregates
نویسنده
چکیده
Enrichment of free mica (i.e. as monomineralic grains) in the fine fraction of crushed rock aggregates affects the quality of the aggregate end product. Granitoid rock from the Svecofennian Province were used as being representative of crushed rock aggregates commonly used for construction purposes. The results reveal a general trend of enrichment of mica for finer fractions. For the coarse grained rock a peak occurs at 0.25–0.5 mm followed by a decrease in the amount of free mica; for grains <0.063 mm there is an increase. The general trend and peak are correlated to the microstructural characteristics of the samples.

Rheological properties of self-consolidating concrete made by crushed waste tile aggregates
In recent decades, the use of self-consolidating concrete has become widespread. Hence, recognizing the various properties of self-consolidating concrete are essential. In this study, several mixture designs have been tested and final mixture design of crushed tile aggregates which were replaced by 0%, 25 %, 50%, and 100% volume percentage of natural aggregates were conducted. To evaluate fresh...
متن کاملApplication of Recycled Glass - Crushed Rock Blends in Road Pavements
Recycled glass is a mixture of different coloured glass particles with debris. It is the result of crushing the waste glass collected from residential and industrial areas. Construction and Demolition (C&D) materials such as concrete, excavation stone (basalt) and brick make up a significant proportion of the waste materials present in landfills in Australia. Substituting the quarry produced cr...

Introduction: Individual grains and small lithic clasts in thin-sectioned suevitic breccia samples from the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP) Bosumtwi impact crater drillcore LB07A were examined petrographically to evaluate the occurrence , abundance, and characteristics of unshocked and shock-metamorphosed quartz. The analyzed samples were taken across a ~42-m-long (...
متن کاملChlorite-mica aggregates: morphology, orientation, development and bearing on cleavage formation in very-low-grade rocks
-Chlor i te-mica aggregates in slates from northern Spain have been investigated in very-thin thin sections. Specimens from various parts of a fold show different morphologies that are dependent on the operating deformation mechanism. From the limb to the hinge rigid-body rotation becomes less important and folding and intragranular kinking are more common. This is associated with an increasing...
متن کاملGemini Surfactants at Solid-Liquid Interfaces: Control of Interfacial Aggregate Geometry
Recent work has shown that conventional surfactants form ordered aggregates of well-defined shape and size at solid-liquid interfaces.1,2 Here we report interfacial aggregate structures as a function of surfactant geometry by using gemini surfactants with varying tail and spacer lengths. On the anionic cleavage plane of mica, aggregates tend to favor a lower curvature than in solution but follo...
