A study on high performance concrete using sandstone aggregates

An investigation into the potential use of crushed sandstone aggregates in high performance concrete (HPC) has been carried out. A suitable mix design of HPC has been developed using crushed sandstone coarse and fine aggregates. The engineering properties of both fresh and hardened HPC have been ob...
