Influence of barite aggregate friability on mixing process and mechanical properties of concrete

The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the friability of the barite aggregate during the mixing process and its influence on the fresh and hardened properties of concrete. Three types of aggregates were studied: barite (in two states, dry and wet), limestone and EAF slag. A specific test wa...

A specific test was designed in which each type of aggregate was exposed to several times of mixing to evaluate possible changes to the grading curves and in the surface of the aggregates grains.
