The versatility of these crushed stone aggregates is highlighted by their grading according to size and intended usage. Larger aggregates, ranging from 2.5 to 7.5 centimeters, are optimum as base materials for buildings and roads, providing a dependable, solid foundation capable of supporting substantial weights. At the other size …

Abstract. This section describes and explains briefly the most important mechanical, thermal, and optical properties used to characterize the various classes of solid materials discussed in this book. For each physical quantity, the definition, symbol (s), equation, and SI unit are provided along with some orders of magnitude and range.
