Effect of Type of Aggregate on Abrasion Resistance of Concrete

Article Preview

Abstract:

Abrasion is the physical wear of a surface due to cyclically recurring dynamic forces and shifts. Therefore, abrasion resistance can be defined as the ability of a surface to resist wear due to friction. The paper deals with the issue of the resistance of concrete surface layers to the effects of abrasion. The research focused on monitoring the influence of different types of aggregate on increasing the abrasion resistance of concrete surfaces. Concrete surfaces with three different types of aggregate were tested: amphibolite, granodiorite and psammite. The concrete class was C35/45. Abrasion was tested using the Böhme method. The highest abrasion resistance after 28 days of maturation was found in concrete surfaces with amphibolite aggregate.
