This study compares the quartzites of four quartzite units: The Fagfog Quartzite, Dunga Quartzite (member of the Robang Formation), Pandrang Quartzite (member of the Kalitar Formation) and the Chisapani Quartzite. The analysis shows variations in flakiness and elongation, as the Fagfog Quartzite displays low flakiness whereas the Pandrang and the Chisapani have moderate and the Dunga Quartzite has shown variations. The density values of the four quartzite units remain consistent, indicating uniform physical properties and porosity levels. However, bulk density values differ among the quartzites, suggesting variations in particle arrangement, porosity, and density. Regarding strength measures, the Pandrang and the Chisapani Quartzite have higher strength characteristics as compared to the Fagfog and the Dunga Quartzites. The Pandrang Quartzite has the highest average point load strength index, classifying it as "Extremely Strong". The resistance to impact and crushing forces varies among the quartzites, with lower Aggregate Impact Value (AIV) and Aggregate Crushing Value (ACV) indicating higher strength and durability. Durability tests show that the Fagfog Quartzite has high durability against slaking, with a slight decrease observed after the fifth cycle. The Dunga Quartzite shows varying degrees of weathering, while the Pandrang and the Chisapani Quartzite have minimal weight changes, indicating strong resistance to weathering. Magnesium sulfate soundness tests indicate high durability and resistance to degradation for all four units. The Los Angeles abrasion value (LAAV) tests indicate favorable resistance to abrasion for the majority of the Fagfog, Dunga, and the Pandrang Quartzites samples, while Chisapani Quartzite shows more variability in LAAV values. The Pandrang Quartzite shows a higher proportion of elongated particles but lower flakiness index values as compared to Fagfog and Dunga Quartzites while Chisapani Quartzite stands out with a significantly higher presence of flaky particles and lower elongation index values. Mechanically, the Fagfog and Dunga Quartzite show higher strength and better resistance to abrasion and freeze and thaw. The Pandrang Quartzite shows moderate resistance to crushing and sudden effect, while the Chisapani Quartzite has variable resistance to effect. This comparative study emphasizes the diversity and complexity of quartzite rock types, showing the need for comprehensive characterization and assessment to determine their suitability for specific applications.

This paper is an introduction of pessimum program for the identification of alkali-silica reaction of alkali-aggregate reaction which is known as one of a major factor of concrete deterioration. A series of gel-pat testing program was undertaken to observe the reactivity of potentially alkali-silica reactive concrete aggregates which were found to be reactive by previous petrographic examination (ASTM C 295). And then a pessimum program was performed in accordance with mortar-bar test method (ASTM C 227) with different percentage of those reactive components included in the fine aggregate source to determine the pessimum quantity. Chert and quartzite were found to be major components of reactive mineral/rock, and the pessimum condition for chert was about 3%, even though the test was performed with up to 25% of the component. In the case of quartzite, however, the mortar-bar expansion appeared to be directly proportional to the amount of quartzite sample with increasing tested quantity up to 35%. Both of the expansion results were well 3 and 6 month specified maximum limitation of 0.05% and of 0.1% respectively.

The non-destructive tests are widely used to predict the strength of existing structures. The purpose of the present study is to propose the prediction equations for strength evaluation of concrete structures. The present study focuses on the rebound method and ultrasonic pulse velocity method for quartzite aggregate concrete. The major test variables include the water-cement ratio and curing methods. The water-cement ratio are 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, respectively and the curing method covers ail-dry condition and standard curing condition. The prediction equations for strength of concrete are proposed from the present test data.

Although concrete is a noncombustible material, high temperatures such as those experienced during a fire have a negative effect on the mechanical properties. This paper studies the effect of elevated temperatures on the mechanical properties of limestone, quartzite and granite concrete. Samples from three different concrete mixes with limestone, quartzite and granite coarse aggregates were prepared. The test samples were subjected to temperatures ranging from 25 to $650^{\circ}C$ for a duration of 2 h. Mechanical properties of concrete including the compressive and tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, and ultimate strain in compression were obtained. Effects of temperature on resistance to degradation, thermal expansion and phase compositions of the aggregates were investigated. The results indicated that the mechanical properties of concrete are largely affected from elevated temperatures and the type of coarse aggregate used. The compressive and split tensile strength, and modulus of elasticity decreased with increasing temperature, while the ultimate strain in compression increased. Concrete made of granite coarse aggregate showed higher mechanical properties at all temperatures, followed by quartzite and limestone concretes. In addition to decomposition of cement paste, the imparity in thermal expansion behavior between cement paste and aggregates, and degradation and phase decomposition (and/or transition) of aggregates under high temperature were considered as main factors impacting the mechanical properties of concrete. The novelty of this research stems from the fact that three different aggregate types are comparatively evaluated, mechanisms are systemically analyzed, and empirical relationships are established to predict the residual compressive and tensile strength, elastic modulus, and ultimate compressive strain for concretes subjected to high temperatures.

Alkali-silica reaction (ASR) is among one of the most important damaging mechanisms in concrete, depending primarily on aggregates which contain reactive minerals. However, expansion in concrete may not directly relate to the reactive minerals. This study aims to investigate the influence of ASR and the expansion of mortar bars depending on aggregate type containing various components such as quartz, clay minerals (montmorillonite and kaolinite) and micas (muscovite and biotite). In this study, the accelerated mortar bar tests (AMBT) were performed in two conditions (mortar bars in the same and sole NaOH solutions). Petrographic thin section studies, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis (Rietveld method), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and chemical analyses were carried out. This study showed that quartzite bars led to increase in expansion values of mortar bars in diabase-1 and andesite when these were in the same NaOH solution. However, three samples (basalt, quartzite and claystone) were found having ASR expansion based on the AMBT when the special molds were used for each sample. SEM study revealed that samples which exhibit highest expansions according to AMBT had a generally rough surface and acicular microstructures in or around the micro-cracks. Basalt and quartzite showed more variable in major oxides than those of other samples based on the chemical analyses, SEM studies and AMBT. This study revealed that the highest expansions were observed to source not only from reactive aggregates but also from alteration products (silicification, chloritization, sericitization and argillisation), phyllosilicates (muscovite, biotite and vermiculite) and clays (montmorillonite and kaolinite).

국내에서의 골재의 수요는 1980년대 이후 급속한 경제성장과 더불어 빠르게 증가되어 왔다. 국내 골재 생산량 중 하천골재의 비율은 약 25%, 바다골재 20∼25%, 육상골재 약 5％이며, 산림골재는 약 40∼50％를 점하며 거의 모든 굵은 골재의 공급을 담당하고 있다. 산림골재는 지역적으로 고르게 분포하고 있으나 서울, 부산 등 광역시를 중심으로 그 주변에 집중되는 경향을 보인다. 국내 산림골재로서 개발되는 암석은 심성암류 27%, 변성암류 32%, 퇴적암류와 화산암류가 각각 18％를 차지한다. 암종별로 보면 전체 골재석산에서 화강암 대상이 25%, 편마암 20%, 사암 10％, 안산암 10%의 비율을 보이고 있다. 석재로 이용되는 암종은 국내 암석 종류 중 15개 암종에 불과하지만 골재로 이용되는 암종은 석재 이용 암종의 2배인 29종으로 심성암류는 화강암, 섬장암, 섬록암, 반화강안, 반암, 규장암, 맥암 등이며, 화산암류는 유문암, 안산암, 조면암, 현무암, 응회암, 화산각력암 등이다. 또한 변성암류에서는 편마암, 편암, 천매암, 슬레이트, 변성사암, 규암, 혼펠스, 석회규산염암, 각섬암 등이 사용되고, 퇴적암에서는 사암, 셰일, 이암, 역암, 석회암, 각력암, 쳐트 등이 이용된다. 이들 암종들 중에는 석재로 사용하기 어려운 셰일, 이암, 화산각력암 등이 포함된다. 석재에서는 화강암이 70∼80%의 점유빈도를 보이지만 골재에서는 25% 정도의 점유율만을 보인다. 두 번째로 많이 이용되는 암종은 편마암으로 전체 점유율 중 20% 정도 차지한다. 그리고 사암과 안산암이 10% 내외 정도의 점유율을 보인다. 도별 점유현황을 살펴 보면 충북에서 심성암의 비율이 가장 높고 그 다음으로 전북, 강원, 경기도의 순으로 심성암의 점유율이 감소하며 경남과 전남이 12%, 10%로 가장 낮은 점유율을 보인다. 이러한 현상은 보통 70∼80%의 심성암 점유율을 보이는 석재자원과는 매우 다른 형태이다. 전남지역은 화산암 골재가 50% 이상이며, 경남은 퇴적암 골재가 50% 이상을 점한다. 또한 변성암의 골재 사용비율은 경기도, 충남에서는 거의 50% 수준에 육박한다. 골재 석산은 경기도, 경북, 경남, 충북에서 거의 비슷한 비율로 분포하며 오히려 전북에서의 골재 석산의 수는 적은 편에 속한다. 강원도가 골재석산의 수가 가장 적은 편이다.
