COMPARISON OF PHYSICAL AND MECHANICAL TEST METHODS FOR COARSE AGGREGATE ACCORDING TO THE EGYPTIAN AND RUSSIAN STANDARD METHODS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Physical and mechanical test methods for coarse aggregate have been studied under the commercial program of Egyptian and Russian standard test methods comparison. Theoretical and practical research has been carried out using Egyptian raw materials from reputed occurrences. The research shows that the main part of tests is either the same or comparable, which can make the quality assessment easier for both sides provided that the converting rules are followed. Recalculating methods for important geometrical and mechanical properties are proposed. Converting tables, graphics and Russian standards are provided in order to assist Egyptian suppliers with participating in tendering for Al Dabaa NPP project.
