These parameters reflect the aggregates' performance and, therefore, the asphalt pavement. The abrasion value of the aggregates or Los Angeles coefficient (LA) represents the mass loss of the aggregate in the abrasion process. This property denotes the hardness or toughness of aggregates and can show the durability of asphalt …

This is a broader range than sandstone, and some limestone may have a higher compressive strength than sandstone. Specific Gravity – The specific gravity of limestone is very close to the specific gravity of sandstone at 2.5 to 2.7 Kg/cm3. Weather-resistant – Oklahoma limestone has a slightly lower porosity than sandstone.

The coarse aggregate specific gravity test (Figure 1) is used to calculate the specific gravity of a coarse aggregate sample by determining the ratio of the weight of a given volume of aggregate to the weight of an equal volume of water. It is similar in nature to the fine aggregate specific gravity test.

This work studies the variation in strength and hardness on 'Pedra de Borriol' limestone, a Cretaceous natural stone, exposed to high temperatures, by means of UCS test, PLT and LHT.
