The Effect of the Microstructure of Diabases from Greece and Cyprus on Their Engineering Characteristics and the Mechanical Behaviour of Concrete

The Effect of the Microstructure of Diabases from Greece and Cyprus on Their Engineering Characteristics and the Mechanical Behaviour of Concrete

This article presents, for the first time, the study of diabases from various ophiolite complexes from Greece and Cyprus to identify their performance as concrete aggregates. Within this scope, in the first step, diabase samples from four selected ophiolite complexes of Greece (Veria-Naousa, Edessa...
