• Abstract:
  Degradation of aggregate in concrete can be caused by erosion or fracture, and both cementitious materials and aggregate age over time. The specification requirements for the degradation of aggregates have been established for hot mix asphalt and for most aggregate products (WSDOT Standard Specifications, 2006); however, degradation specifications for concrete aggregate have not been established. There is a need to characterize the long term performance of concrete considering the aggregate degradation process as good quality gravel sources are increasingly becoming exhausted.
