Abstract
The Engineering Geological properties of the Middle-upper Triassic Dolomite have been studied as far as the suitability of its aggregates in the skid resistant pavament surface construction is concerned. Representative dolomite samples have been collected from the Stefani quarry, described in detail in terms of rock mass and rock material, and analysed chemically. Its petrography and thermo-differential analysis have also been included. Among the tests performed were physical properties tests, shape indices tests, mechanical properties and wear resistance tests, and weathering simulation tests. The investigations finally showed that it is a chemically and mineralogically pure, massive, strong, wear and weathering resistant, but, however, polishing susceptible, dolomite rock. Therefore it is not very suitable for the skid resistant pavement surface construction.
