In this study, it is demonstrated how the traditional engineering characterisation procedures, for aggregates for concrete, mainly focus on physical-mechanical aspects, can be enhanced through a complementary study, using chemical-mineralogical techniques traditionally applied on geological materials. A chemical mineralogical assessment, involving X-ray fluorescenc and, X-ray diffraction, was used in this study in order to characterise the materials and highlight their potential in quality control procedures of recycled aggregate production. This study demonstrates that aggregate production quality control regimes can be benefited significantly by the introduction of chemical mineralogical techniques for the quality assessment and consistency during production.

Abstract
In this study, it is demonstrated how the traditional engineering characterisation procedures, for aggregates for concrete, mainly focus on physical-mechanical aspects, can be enhanced through a complementary study, using chemical-mineralogical techniques traditionally applied on geological materials. A chemical mineralogical assessment, involving X-ray fluorescenc and, X-ray diffraction, was used in this study in order to characterise the materials and highlight their potential in quality control procedures of recycled aggregate production. This study demonstrates that aggregate production quality control regimes can be benefited significantly by the introduction of chemical mineralogical techniques for the quality assessment and consistency during production.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
