| Freeze/Thaw performance determination of Irish Masonary Blocks |
This project aims to investigate the durability and soundness characteristics of Irish aggregates used in concrete block manufacturing. With commitments from leading aggregates manufacturers such as Roadstone and Kilsaran, as well as samples from the Geological Survey of Ireland, the project will analyse approximately 10 to 12 sources of aggregates to determine their suitability for use in concrete block manufacturing |
