In summary, adding basalt fiber has a positive effect on concrete durability performance; the result is pronounced and has good engineering application value. In this paper, we add various materials, such as water-soluble sodium silicate and inorganic water repellent, to basalt fiber to further enhance the performance of concrete against ...

The strength of the concrete is related to the composition of sands used in concrete mix. Hence, the content and type of clay, and the percentage of feldspar and mica in the aggregates should always be determined before they are used in the concrete mix. The presence of clay in the natural sand reduces the concrete strength by nearly 10 MPa.

In this study, basalt aggregates obtained from different quarries were examined in terms of their physical and mechanical properties. The results were compared with the current granular material specifications in force. When basalt aggregates are used as crushed-stone, the flakiness rate is found relatively high due to their glassy structure.

Purpose This report describes the state-of-the-knowledge regarding the environ­ mental impacts from quarrying carbon-ate rocks in karst. Documentation of the relationships between carbonate rock quarries and environmental problems in

Different techniques and tools have been involved in studying the various effects of quarries on the natural environment (Kittipongvises 2017). The computation …

A new study by a team of UC Santa Barbara marine scientists and colleagues from three coastal sites in the National Science Foundation's Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) network provides a key ...

Bedrock aquifers are vulnerable to contamination due to the preferential movement of pollutants via rock discontinuities and porous layers. In this research, we propose an approach to assess vulnerability in three dimensions by combining stable isotope values and particle tracking in a vertically anisotropic aquifer of basaltic-fluvial …

Modern building materials must fulfill not only functional performance criteria but also reduce the environmental impact accompanied by their production. Within the past decades, fiber-reinforced materials have been found to be promising and durable materials that can be utilized in various fields. Among a wide range of reinforcement types, basalt …

Sand dune quarries are a location of common aggregate mining activity developed in coastal areas, especially in the southeast Buenos Aires province, Argentina. ... to human but also one that invariably has deleterious effect on the environment. Information on the ... during spontaneous succession was studied in 56 basalt quarries spread over ...

Sawability of diamond wire saw is a cost-sensitive parameter in natural stone quarries that affects directly the production planning and equipment selection. The present study intended to investigate the effect of rock properties on sawability of diamond wire saw in granite quarries by considering the cutting rate and unit wear as the main sawability …

The environmental impacts of laterite quarrying are comparatively less than that of rock quarrying as removal of the hard laterite cap rock enhances water percolation and makes the area more irrigable …

In Europe, key aggregate sources are crushed rock from quarries (46%), terrestrial deposits and rivers (38%), recycled aggregate (12%), and manufactured sand (2%), whereas only 2% comes from the marine environment. 114 In LMICs, however, sand, gravel, and crushed-stone mining is commonly an informal economic activity undertaken …

All basalts, except the Blue Ridge metabasalt, were processed following conventional crushing and screening techniques at the quarry sites (Table 1). The …

Environmental Quality Management is a sustainability journal ... The Land use/cover change analysis from the satellite images of the area showed that quarry lands have increased by 5.2 Ha (0.26%). ...

Hence this paper is an attempt to evaluate the effect of noise on the working environment and to suggest possible control measures to minimize the effect in the study area. View Show abstract

Aggregate is mined from the earth, either dug out of pits or blasted out of quarries. This process has many significant environmental impacts. [1] Creating the pits or quarries requires the removal of virtually all natural …

However, the organic-aged SA basalt attains a CO2-wet state (θa = 106.8• and θr = 95.2•). In addition, the CO2 column height of the pure SA basalt is higher than that reported for the WA and ...

Section snippets Study area. The Subei Basin is located in southeast China and drains into the Yellow Sea, covering an area of 6.35 × 10 4 km 2, with mean elevation of 2–8 m and a coastline of 1,954 km from southeast to northwest (Wang et al., 2006) (Fig. 1).The average annual temperature is 14 °C and the average annual potential …

Here we explore soil amendment with powdered basalt in natural ecosystems. Basalt is an abundant rock resource, which reacts with CO2 and removes …

Mining and quarrying for minor minerals impart significant economic, environmental and social impacts in and around the affected areas. The problem is severe in the small river catchments as the effective area available for assimilating negative impacts of the activity is minimal, compared to large river basins. To address these issues, an …
