Turkey
has many types of aggregates that have different chemical and physical
properties. Waste aggregates or low-cost aggregates must be evaluated in the
industry to benefit the environment. Turkey has large water reserves. Therefore,
the usability of natural aggregates, created by the sweeping of water in places
like river beds, lakes, and coasts, in industrial areas such as construction
and metallurgy should be investigated. Because these aggregates have a
quartzitic characteristic, it is also believed that their strength will be
high. In this study investigates the abrasion resistance of natural aggregates
with quartzite characteristics obtained from river beds in the Mediterranean
Region. This study aims to investigate the usability of these natural
aggregates in concrete. For the usability of these quartzitic natural
aggregates in concrete, it has been investigated whether they have the
appropriate abrasion value conforming the relevant Turkish Standard. Thus, it
is aimed to provide both an environmentally friendly production and economic
gain. The present study was carried out experimentally using the Los Angeles
test device for different test parameters. From this study, it has been
concluded that these natural aggregates can be used for the production of
concrete which has sufficient strength especially in terms of abrasion
resistance. The abrasion resistance of the aforementioned aggregates was
compared with the abrasion resistance of aggregates with different properties used
in previous studies.
