Abstract:

The concrete used on highway projects is mostly Portland cement concrete, a mixture of

Portland cement, a coarse granular material called aggregate, and fine granular material, often

sand. While chiefly a filler, aggregate’s properties strongly affect the properties of concrete made

with it. Most aggregate produced in Florida, called limerock, is a type of local limestone which

tends to be more porous, softer, and less

dense than limestone from other U.S. regions.

It is generally assumed that this difference

produces a less strong concrete, so, additional

Portland cement is used to compensate,

leading to increased cost for concrete

including limerock.
