Weathered quartite sandstones of the Kursk magnetic anomaly as a raw material for construction industry

Introduction. The features of composition and structure of quartzitic sandstones of the Kursk Magnetic Anomaly affected by weathering processes, which do not meet the requirements of normative documents for obtaining crushed rock, are considered. The reserves of these rocks have not been approved as...

In consideration of current trends in the transition of the construction industry to multicomponent compositions, it is advisable to use weathered quartzite sandstone as an unconventional quartz raw material in obtaining energy-efficient building composites of a new generation.
