In order for the construction process to seem quite simple to you, you should know about what technologies and materials it is customary to use today. As you probably managed to notice, now manufacturers represent us a huge assortment of building material. But what is the best way to choose. Unfortunately, this can be discussed forever and at the same time it is necessary to consider each material separately. In this article, we will try to tell you as much as possible about such building material as limestone crushed stone.
Crushed stone, this is the material that is mined, crushing rocks, boulders or gravel. The size of the crushed stone does not exceed 5 millimeters. In turn, limestone crushed stone is formed from limestone. There are several fractions that are used in the construction process, such as 20-40 and 40-70. Such crushed stone is also called dolomite. Various architectural monuments were previously made from such material. For example, such as Egyptian pyramids and a Chinese wall.
Limestone crushed stone is characterized by a large number of properties. Dolomite crushed stone has excellent resistance to temperature drops and impacts. In addition, this is an environmentally friendly material, which is very important. It is also worth considering that limestone crushed stone has small moisture absorption and water supply. This crushed stone tolerates frosts perfectly, without deforming. In combination with some impurities, such crushed stone can acquire reddish, yellow or white color.
Compared to conventional gravel, this has a lower radiation activity. It should also be borne in mind that the dolomite crushed stone has much more binding properties. And this, in turn, leads to the fact that the products are much better and more stable. Unfortunately, there is one small drawback, such gravel has a fairly low strength, which is compensated by low cost.
Limestone crushed stone has a very wide area of application, which depends on the fraction. The smallest grains of crushed stone, or rather, 5-20, are customary to use in the production of concrete or various structures from it. In addition, this type of crushed stone is often used for cladding buildings and t. D. In turn, the 20-40 fraction is more used in the arrangement of various paths or sites. Crushed stone with a 40-70 fraction is practically not used. It is used for the manufacture of pillows for roads or railway embankments.
