“…Generally, the XRF test was conducted as per a test method of ES 1172:2 equivalent to EN 196:2. The analysis is rapid and non-destructive (Jamaluddin et al, 2018) which is widely used for chemical analysis, particularly in the investigation of geologic construction materials. The major oxides test was carried out on as little as 0.5 g of material.…”

“…The process of XRF analysis involves preliminary size reduction by grinding a sample into a fine powder, ideally to a grain size of <75μm, mixing it with a binding aid, and then pressing the mixture in a die to produce a homogeneous sample pellet. Thus, the sample material was analyzed as a pressed powder fused into a glass disk using a suitable flux, such as lithium tetraborate (Jamaluddin et al 2018). Generally, the XRF test was conducted as per a test method of ES 1172:2 equivalent to EN 196:2.…”

The quality of aggregates affects the durability and performance of pavement as it is the dominant component both in rigid and flexible pavement. Hence, aggregate quality assessment is important to ensure the good performance of aggregate in different sections of pavements. The present work aims to assess the suitability of limestone for road aggregate. Thirty-seven Mesozoic limestone samples obtained from previously identified suitable quarry sites were subjected to petrographic and geotechnical analyses. Physical properties (ultrasonic pulse velocity (PVU), water absorption (Wa), Na2SO4 soundness, and specific gravity tests) and mechanical properties (unconfined compressive strength (UCS), Aggregate crushing value (ACV), Aggregate Impact Value (AIV), and Los Angles Abrasion value (LAAV)) were determined in the lab and then compared with the globally accepted standards. The petrographic observations revealed that the Mesozoic limestones of the area are dominantly composed of micrite, sparite, and bioclasts with subordinate intraclasts, ooids, Fe-oxides, and dolomites. Results of the physical properties show the rock has a mean PVU of 4859 m/s, a bulk dry specific gravity (Gsb) of 2.64, and very low water absorption capacity ranging from 0.2-5.7%, and Na2SO4 soundness ranging from 1-14%. UCS, AIV, ACV, and LAAV range from 20.5-180.5Mpa, 8-20%, 24-34%, and 18.9-31.1%, respectively. The physical, chemical and mechanical properties of the entire limestones sample comply with the required standards, suggesting their suitability as aggregate materials in road construction.To study the interrelationships between the physical, properties of the limestone aggregate, regression analysis was applied showing a significant interrelationship between these properties.

“…XRF is the commonest chemical technique that helps to spot the main oxides of samples with a differing composition such as silicates, carbonates, sulfates, and phosphates from below 0.01% to 100%. The analysis is rapid and non-destructive (Jamaluddin, Darwis & Massinai, 2018) as well as widely used for elemental and chemical analysis, particularly in the investigation of geologic construction materials. The major oxides test was carried out on as little as 0.5 g of material.…”

“…The major oxides test was carried out on as little as 0.5 g of material. The sample material was analyzed as a pressed powder fused into a glass disk using a suitable ux, such as lithium tetraborate (Jamaluddin et al, 2018). Using fused samples allows an evenly dispersed primary solid solution, which enables a good range of matrix compositions to be accurately, determined through the normalization of particle size and inter-element (matrix) effects.…”

Road construction requires a prime quality and a tremendous amount of aggregates, within which their quality is set by geological and geotechnical properties. Therefore, the Mesozoic limestone was studied in the vicinity of Harer and Dire Dawa towns, for the fundamental engineering assessments. Thirty-seven Mesozoic limestone samples obtained from the area were subjected to petrographic and geotechnical analyses to work out the suitability of the rock as a road aggregate. Physical properties were investigated using ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV), water absorption, Na2So4 soundness, and specific gravity tests. However, the mechanical properties were determined using unconfined compressive strength (UCS), Aggregate crushing value (ACV), Aggregate Impact Value (AIV), and Los Angles Abrasion value (LAAV). The study aimed to see if the limestone aggregate complies with the globally accepted standards by employing geotechnical laboratory analyses and petrographic examination. The petrographic observations reveal the Mesozoic limestones of the area are dominantly composed of micrite, sparite, and bioclasts with subordinate intraclasts, ooids, Fe-oxides, and dolomites. Results of the physical properties show the rock has a mean UPV of 4859 m/s, a dry specific gravity of 2.64, and very low water absorption ranging from 0.2-5.7%, and Na2So4 soundness ranges from 1-14%. Among the mechanical properties, UCS, AIV, ACV, and LAAV range from 20.5-180.5Mpa, 8-20%, 24-34%, and 18.9-31.1%, respectively.Based on the aforementioned results, the limestones of the area are suitable for aggregate in road construction as they’re complying with ERA, AASHTO, ASTM, and BS standards used for pavement works.

“…The content and the percentage of minerals contained in the rocks are studied by X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF). XRF reports chemical composition to indicate the content and the percentage of element dominate the rock samples and to classify them (Jamaluddin et al, 2018). The distribution of naturally occurring radionuclides depends on the type and origin of rocks and the processes which concentrated them (Bezuidenhout, 2019).…”
