This paper examines the effect of the aggregate type on concrete strength, and more specifically, how the petrographic characteristics of various aggregate rocks as well as their physico-mechanical properties influences the durability of C 25/30 strength class concrete. The studied aggregate rocks were derived from Veria-Naousa and Edessa ophiolitic complexes as well as granodiorite and albitite rocks from their surrounding areas in central Macedonia (Greece). Concretes were produced with constant volume proportions, workability, mixing and curing conditions using different sizes of each aggregate type. Aggregates were mixed both in dry and water saturated states in concretes. Six different types of aggregates were examined and classified in three district groups according to their physicomechanical properties, petrographic characteristics and surface texture. The classification in groups after the concrete compressive strength test verified the initial classification in the same three groups. Group I (ultramafic rocks) presented the lowest concrete strengths, depending on their high alteration degree and the low mechanical properties of ultramafic aggregates. Group II (mafic rocks and granodiorite) presented a wide range of concrete strengths, depending on different petrographic characteristics and mechanical properties. Group III (albite rocks) presented the highest concrete strengths, depending on their lowest alteration degree and their highest mechanical properties. Therefore, mineralogy and microstructure of the coarse aggregates affected the final strength of the concrete specimens.

This case study investigates the influence of the mineralogical composition of ultramafic rocks derived from two ophiolite complexes from Greece (Veria-Naousa and Gerania) on their mechanical, physical and physicochemical properties. The investigated lithologies include lherzolite, harzburgite, dunite and olivine-orthopyroxenite with variable degrees of alteration. The ratio of secondary minerals to primary minerals (SEC/PR) of the studied ultramafic rocks shows good correlations with their physical, physicochemical and mechanical properties, suggesting that alteration has a negative effect on the engineering performance of the ultramafic rocks. Among the secondary minerals, serpentine plays the most critical role in determining the moisture content, the total porosity and hence the soundness of the host rocks, due to its phyllosilicate structure, which allows more water/solutions to be captured. The high percentage of serpentine creates surfaces of weakness, and as a result, it decreases the rock strength. The low microtopography of highly serpentinized rocks results in their reduced mechanical performance.

This study aims at the interpretation of the adverse effects of the secondary products in two types of rocks during their performance as concrete aggregates. Serpentinised peridotites contain serpentine, as the dominant secondary phase, which creates low microroughness on the particles and therefore unfavorable surfaces for cement paste to adequately adhere to. Moreover, its soft and platy nature contributes to the development of platy defects along the contacts of the aggregate particles with the cement paste. Poor adherence of the paste, failures along the contacts of the aggregate particles and potential propagation of the defects into the concrete during curing (and perhaps subsequently in-service) explain the poor performance of highly serpentinised rocks as concrete aggregates. Andesites show a different composition with a variety of secondary products including albite, chlorite, calcite, Fe-oxides and clay minerals. The role of all these products was investigated and it appears that only smectite is important, as even small amounts of it may be detrimental to the quality of the rocks as concrete aggregates. It is likely that abnormal hydration reactions and considerable swelling of the smectite result in the appearance of defects in the concrete, hence contributing to its low performance.
