Mineral composition of melaphyre rocks and durablity of a motorway surface
Journal Title: Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 10
Abstract
The article presents the mineral composition of melaphyre and discusses durability of minerals contained in the rock for the impact of weather conditions on stability and strength of mineral rocks. The analysis showed that the tested melafir contained too many minerals not resistant to weathering. This fact had a significant impact on the exploitatnion of the new done motorway surface. The surface layer of the motorway was made between June and November 2001 and at the beginning of 2003 there started its renovation. The resulting rapid wear of the upper surface of the motorway may be explained by an excessive content of minerals that have gone rapid transformations (weathering and oxidation) in the conditions of the top surface layer of the motorway.<br/><br/>
