“…The study also found that the gravel from these quarries had a higher resistance to erosive abrasion, making it a more durable alternative for road building. The study also found that the gravel from these quarries was less affordable than that from other sources, making it a more affordable selection for highway construction [3]. Because of this, the viability of using gravel in building heavily depends on its mechanical and physical characteristics, which are normally determined by research laboratories and organizations.…”

This reflects the fact that the Egyptian government's 2030 strategy provides for the creation of a variety of new cities, which necessitates the building of a multitude of highways that connect cities in order to encourage commerce between those cities and shoreline ports. The objective of the study is to evaluate the gravel materials for this purpose as well as to find out the percentage of losses in the quarries under study. The study will also analyze the economic losses associated with quarry operations by assessing many factors. Specimens are collected from the eleven quarries around the Assiut Governorate. The findings provide insight into how to best manage gravel resources in order to maximize their potential and minimize waste. Furthermore, this study can be used as a reference for future studies on gravel resources in Egypt. The results demonstrate that the gravel experiments had been straightforward to conduct and that the aggregate from these areas was appropriate for establishing roads and for blending with asphalt and cement. The analyzed quarries' gravel loss turned out to be 28.3 -40.05%.
