Slake Durability Index of the Stone Aggregate Used in the Morelia Michoacán Region

Article Preview

Abstract:

The study of durability is very important because buildings are expected to last; since durability is attributed to the materials used in construction, the study of such materials is required. Among them, stones play a fundamental role as part of the structures, as well as stone aggregates in the elaboration of asphalt blends and concrete blends. Bearing this facts in mind, quarry stones of volcanic and crushed materials were studied in the mexican state of Michoacán.In this work, the Id2, density, and absorption data were correlated to obtain a mathematical model that helps predict Id2 and verify the relationship between the variables. On the other hand, logistic regression was used to classify rock quarries according to their durability index.
