Abstract

The article is concerned about the evaluation of aggregate microtexture. It is very important parameter from the traffic safety point of view and is described as a configuration of small irregularities on the aggregate surface. The new evaluating approach of aggregate microtexture based on the 3-D method is described in this article. 3-D model of surface of aggregate particle was generated from the measurements by microscope method. New program was developed for quantification of aggregate microtexture by a volumetric characteristics. Usability of this method was tested on samples of two coarse aggregate fraction taken from the eleven different quarries in Slovakia. The results of this evaluation have shown a high variability of values of volumetric characteristics between the fractions of aggregate and also between quarries.
