Aggregates are granular materials such as sand, gravel, crushed stone and recycled concrete used with cementing materials like cement or asphalt to produce concrete or asphalt. They make up 75% of concrete and over 90% of asphalt. Aggregates must be strong, durable and meet certain shape and size requirements. Common tests evaluate properties like strength, hardness, absorption and abrasion resistance. Sources of aggregates in Pakistan include limestone from Margalla Hills and Salt Range as well as dolomite deposits in Hazara and Kashmir regions.
This document summarizes the classification and properties of aggregates used in construction. It defines aggregates as inert materials mixed with cement or lime for mortar or concrete. Aggregates are classified as fine or coarse based on particle size. Common fine aggregates include sand from various sources, while coarse aggregates include crushed stone and gravel. Key properties discussed include size, shape, composition and performance in tests such as crushing value, impact value and abrasion value. Sieve analysis is also described to determine particle size distribution. An ideal aggregate is characterized as hard, strong, dense and free of impurities to provide durable concrete.
Concrete permeability is a key factor in its durability. Permeability is affected by water-cement ratio, with lower ratios producing less permeable concrete. Curing also impacts permeability.

Aggregate:
Aggregates are defined as inert, granular, and inorganic material that normally consist of stone or stone like solids.
Aggregates are used :
In road bases as Asphalt Aggregates.
With ordinary Portland cement(OPC) as normal aggregates as fills in foundations and as aggregate accordingly to project specific studies.
About three-fourth (75%) of the volume of Portland cement concrete is occupied by aggregates. Other 25% include cementing materials like cement, sand and synthetic admixtures.Asphalt cement concrete occupy 90% or more of the total volume. The remaining portion is mainly sand and Bitumen which acts as cementing material in is Asphalt Aggregates.
Road Aggregate
Road aggregate are the non-active inert material used to provide mass to the base and sub-base courses.
Road aggregate should have high strength to bear the traffic load.
Road aggregates must have higher impact value to withstand the Tyre impact phenomenon.
By volume, aggregate generally account for 92 to 96% of bituminous concrete.
Road aggregates should have relatively:
High strength
High resistance to impact & abrasion
Impermeable
Chemically inert
Low coefficient of expansion

Siliceous material in aggregates
The siliceous materials are Opal, Chalcedony, Flint & Volcanic Glass.
These siliceous materials have Deleterious reaction, if high alkali-cement is used.
This can be avoided by using low alkali-cement and also by adding Pozzolana to the Mix.
Alkali-aggregate reaction can also occur
The percentage of strained Quartz in the aggregate also have deleterious reaction.
If Percentage of Strained Quartz is >40%, were highly reative.
Between 30-35% were moderate reative.
Argillaceous dolostones ( containing clay minerals) may expand when used with high alkali-cement.
The expansion is due to uptake moisture by the clay minerals.
Aggregates are a combination of different sized stones used in construction. They are classified based on size, source, and density. Fine aggregates are less than 5mm while coarse aggregates are greater than 5mm. Natural aggregates come from sources like rivers while manufactured aggregates are crushed. Normal weight aggregates have densities from 1520-1680kg/m3 while lightweight aggregates are less than 1120kg/m3. Tests are conducted to determine properties like strength, hardness, durability and water absorption. Sieve analysis tests the grading and ensures a range of aggregate sizes are present.
Mineral admixtures are added to concrete to make it more economical and durable. Common mineral admixtures include pozzolanas such as fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag, silica fume, and metakaoline. These admixtures improve concrete properties such as workability, permeability, chemical resistance, and strength through pozzolanic reactions. Fly ash is the most widely used pozzolanic material worldwide due to its ability to reduce the environmental pollution caused by coal combustion in thermal power plants. Ground granulated blast furnace slag reduces heat generation during curing and improves permeability and chemical resistance of hardened concrete. Metakaoline and silica fume are highly reactive pozzolanas
This document discusses fresh concrete and factors that affect its workability. It describes workability as the ease with which concrete can be mixed, placed, and compacted.

The document also covers segregation and bleeding of concrete, their causes, and methods to prevent them.
Cement is tested through laboratory and field tests to evaluate its properties and suitability. Key laboratory tests described in the document include:
- Fineness tests which measure particle size and surface area to determine reactivity.
- Setting time tests which ensure cement sets within specified time limits.
- Compressive strength tests where cement mortar cubes are crushed to determine strength over time.
- Soundness and loss of ignition tests which evaluate volume stability and carbon/moisture content.
Results of laboratory tests help ensure cement meets standards before use in construction projects.

The document describes 7 different tests conducted on cement:
1. Field testing examines the cement's appearance, texture, and behavior when mixed with water.
2. The standard consistency test determines the percentage of water needed to achieve a standardized consistency for cement paste.
3. The fineness test evaluates the particle size distribution of cement, with finer particles offering a greater surface area for hydration.
4. The soundness test ensures cement does not expand after setting, which could indicate excess lime causing unsoundness.
5. The strength test measures the compressive strength of cement mortar mixtures at various ages (3, 7, 28 days).
6. The heat of hydration test examines the heat released

It defines workability as the effort required to manipulate fresh concrete with minimum segregation. Consistency refers to a concrete's ease of flow and cohesiveness. Tests are described for measuring properties like slump, ball penetration, density, and air content. Maintaining adequate workability and consistency is important for proper transport, placement, compaction and finishing of concrete.
Lesson: Concrete Technology - Building Materials
The quality of aggregate affect the durability and strength of concrete. Since about 3/4 of the volume of concrete is occupied by aggregate.
- Cement is tested in the field to check for lumps, consistency, and ability to float in water.
- Laboratory tests include setting time, soundness, fineness, and strength. Setting time tests use a Vicat apparatus to check initial and final set. Soundness tests use a Le Chatelier apparatus to check for expansion. Fineness is measured by the Blaine air permeability test. Strength is measured through compressive testing of cement mortar cubes.
- Common cement types include ordinary Portland cement, rapid hardening cement, sulphate resisting cement, Portland slag cement, and Portland pozzolana cement made by intergrinding clinker with fly ash or calcined clay.
Concrete is made up of ingredients like Cement, Fine Aggregate (Sand), Coarse Aggregate, Water and admixtures. Concrete mix design is done to Optimize the requirements of Cement, Sand, Aggregate and Water in order to ensure that concrete parameters in both Plastic Stage (like workability) and in Hardened Stage (like Compressive Strength and durability) are achieved. The Concrete mix design is as per Indian Standards (IS 10262) and might vary from country to country. The nominal mix design ratios available for concrete less than M30 in strength are only thumb rules and are generally over designed. As the actual site conditions vary and the mix design should be adjusted as per the location and other factors.
Alkali-aggregate reaction is the reaction between the active mineral constituents of some aggregates and the alkali hydroxides in concrete. It is only harmful when it produces significant expansion. There are two main forms: alkali-silica reaction and alkali-carbonate reaction.
Alkali-silica reaction, also known as ASR, causes cracking in concrete from the reaction between certain reactive minerals or rocks in aggregates and alkalis in cement. It can cause visible symptoms like cracking and pop outs, which are small fragment breakaways leaving shallow depressions.
Alkali-carbonate reaction is influenced by factors like clay or calcite/dolomite content and crystal size in aggregates.
Self-compacting concrete was developed in Japan in the 1980s to solve problems with inadequate compaction of traditional concrete. It uses a high paste content and superplasticizers to create a concrete that can flow and consolidate under its own weight without vibration. Tests were developed to evaluate properties like filling ability, passing ability, and segregation resistance. Self-compacting concrete provides benefits like easier placement, faster construction, better surface finish, and improved durability. However, it also has higher costs associated with materials and mix design development.
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.
Aggregates are granular materials like sand, gravel, or crushed stone used with water and cement to make concrete. They come in two sizes: fine aggregates smaller than 5 mm and coarse aggregates larger than 5 mm. Aggregates provide strength, reduce cracking, and lower the cost of concrete. They are selected based on being hard, durable, and free of organic materials or other substances that could weaken the concrete. Aggregates are classified by size, manufacturing method, and density. Physical tests are conducted to determine properties like strength, hardness, porosity, and grading.

The document discusses the 79 CE eruption of Mount Vesuvius that buried the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. It provides background on Vesuvius and nearby Mediterranean volcanoes. Details are given about the features of Pompeii, including its streets, food stalls, plumbing, and gladiator school that were preserved by the volcanic ash and lava flows. The document also includes information on victims recovered from the eruption and a chart classifying volcanic explosivity on an index scale.
Pompeii was an ancient Roman city near the volcanic mountain Vesuvius that was destroyed in 79 AD when Vesuvius erupted in a massive Plinian eruption. The city was buried under ash and debris, preserving structures and remains. Nearly 20,000 residents could have evacuated but did not recognize the danger. Centuries later the buried city was rediscovered and excavations have since revealed details of daily Roman life. Pliny the Younger, who witnessed the eruption, provided the first detailed eyewitness account that is still used by volcanologists today.

Brachiopods are marine invertebrates with hard shells known as valves. They are divided into two classes - Articulata and Inarticulata. Articulata have valves that are hinged and can open, while Inarticulata valves are cemented together and cannot open. Brachiopods live with their lophophore protruding between the valves to filter feed on plankton. Their shells have distinct features like teeth and sockets that interlock the valves together. Brachiopods were most common in the Paleozoic era and remain important index fossils for determining paleoenvironments.
A synthetic gemstone is identical to a natural gemstone in almost every way. This includes the same basic crystal structure, refractive index, specific gravity, chemical composition, colors, and other characteristics. Since the same gemological tests are used for stone identification on both natural and synthetic gems, it is sometimes even possible for a gemologist to be puzzled as to whether or not a stone is natural or synthetic. When this occurs, the best course of action is to send the stone to an accredited gem laboratory, like the Gemological Institute of America. They can positively determin ewhether a stone is synthetic or naturally occuring. Only minor internal characteristics allow separation of a synthetic gemstone from a natural gemston
Sri Guru Hargobind Ji - Bandi Chor Guru.pdfBalvir Singh
Sri Guru Hargobind Ji (19 June 1595 - 3 March 1644) is revered as the Sixth Nanak.
• On 25 May 1606 Guru Arjan nominated his son Sri Hargobind Ji as his successor. Shortly
afterwards, Guru Arjan was arrested, tortured and killed by order of the Mogul Emperor
Jahangir.
• Guru Hargobind's succession ceremony took place on 24 June 1606. He was barely
eleven years old when he became 6th Guru.
• As ordered by Guru Arjan Dev Ji, he put on two swords, one indicated his spiritual
authority (PIRI) and the other, his temporal authority (MIRI). He thus for the first time
initiated military tradition in the Sikh faith to resist religious persecution, protect
people’s freedom and independence to practice religion by choice. He transformed
Sikhs to be Saints and Soldier.
• He had a long tenure as Guru, lasting 37 years, 9 months and 3 days

Paper Title
Particle Swarm Optimization–Long Short-Term Memory based Channel Estimation with Hybrid Beam Forming Power Transfer in WSN-IoT Applications
Authors
Reginald Jude Sixtus J and Tamilarasi Muthu, Puducherry Technological University, India
Abstract
Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) helps to overcome various difficulties in future technology wireless communications. NOMA, when utilized with millimeter wave multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, channel estimation becomes extremely difficult. For reaping the benefits of the NOMA and mm-Wave combination, effective channel estimation is required. In this paper, we propose an enhanced particle swarm optimization based long short-term memory estimator network (PSOLSTMEstNet), which is a neural network model that can be employed to forecast the bandwidth required in the mm-Wave MIMO network. The prime advantage of the LSTM is that it has the capability of dynamically adapting to the functioning pattern of fluctuating channel state. The LSTM stage with adaptive coding and modulation enhances the BER.PSO algorithm is employed to optimize input weights of LSTM network. The modified algorithm splits the power by channel condition of every single user. Participants will be first sorted into distinct groups depending upon respective channel conditions, using a hybrid beamforming approach. The network characteristics are fine-estimated using PSO-LSTMEstNet after a rough approximation of channels parameters derived from the received data.
Keywords

Online train ticket booking system project.pdfKamal Acharya
Rail transport is one of the important modes of transport in India. Now a days we
see that there are railways that are present for the long as well as short distance
travelling which makes the life of the people easier. When compared to other
means of transport, a railway is the cheapest means of transport. The maintenance
of the railway database also plays a major role in the smooth running of this
system. The Online Train Ticket Management System will help in reserving the
tickets of the railways to travel from a particular source to the destination.

2. Introduction:
Aggregates are defined as inert, granular, and inorganic
material that normally consist of stone or stone like solids.
Aggregates are used :
In road bases as Asphalt Aggregates.
With ordinary Portland cement(OPC) as normal
aggregates as fills in foundations and as aggregate
accordingly to project specific studies.
3. About three-fourth (75%) of the volume of Portland cement
concrete is occupied by aggregates. Other 25% include
cementing materials like cement, sand and synthetic
admixtures.
Asphalt cement concrete occupy 90% or more of the total
volume. The remaining portion is mainly sand and Bitumen
which acts as cementing material in is Asphalt Aggregates.
4. Road Aggregate:
By volume, aggregate generally account for 92 to 96% of
bituminous concrete.
Road aggregate are the non-active inert material used to
provide mass to the base and sub-base courses.
Road aggregate should have high strength to bear the traffic
load.
Road aggregates must have higher impact value to withstand
the Tyre impact phenomenon.
5. Road aggregate mainly cubic angular which help in better
interlocking of the aggregate which in turn ultimately increases
the compressive strength.
6. Concrete Aggregate:
Portland cement concrete occupy volume of about 70-
80% of aggregates.
Fine aggregates are used in making thin concrete slabs
where a smooth surface is required. Fine aggregate is
commonly known as Pan.
Coarse aggregate is used for more massive members.
7.
8. Uses of aggregates:
We need aggregate to meet our basic needs of construction as under:
Civil Engineering
Structures
Public Sector
High Life Risk
Structures
Dams
Bridges
High Building
Towers
Low Life Risk
Structures
Roads
Schools
Hospitals
Private Sector
High Life Risk
Structures
Skyscrapers
Plazas
Monuments
Low Life Risk
Structures
Houses
Pavements
Safety Structures
(Parapets)
Sewerage storm
water drainage
9. Classification of Aggregates:
In Accordance with size:
Course Aggregate:
Retained on the No.4 (4.75mm) sieve.
Fine Aggregate:
Aggregate passing No.4 sieve and predominantly
retained on the No.200 sieve.
10. In Accordance with Source:
Natural Aggregates: Aggregate is taken from natural
deposits. Some example are sand, crushed limestone,
dolomite and gravels.
Manufactured Aggregates: Man-made materials
produces as a main product or an industrial by-product.
Some examples are blast furnace slag, lightweight
aggregate and heavy weight aggregate.
11. In Accordance with Weight:
Light weight aggregate:
Their unit weight is less than 1120kg/m3 and bulk density less
than 1800kg/m3. Examples are Cinder, blast furnace slag,
volcanic pumice.
Normal weight aggregate: Their unit weight is 1520-
1680kg/m3 and bulk density of 2300-24—kg/m3.
Heavy weight aggregate: Their unit weight is greater than
2100kg/m3 and the bulk density is greater than 3200kg/m3. A
typical example is magnetite limonite, a heavy iron ore.
12. Types of aggregates:
Granite aggregates
Granite aggregates are crushed hard rock of granular structure,
being the most common on Earth. It is the best aggregate for
high-grade concrete
Gravel aggregates
Gravel aggregates are aggregates acquired as the result of
examining mined rock and by crushing natural stone rock. Gravel
aggregates are used for foundations and concretes
13. Limestone aggregates
Limestone is one of the main types of aggregates that besides
the gravel and the granite types is used in road construction and
in production of reinforced concrete objects.
Secondary aggregates:
Secondary aggregate comes from crushing construction
waste – concrete, bricks, and asphalt. These aggregates
are used:
As a large-scale filler for concretes
In road construction as a filler for roads and ramps
Slag aggregates
Slag aggregates are obtained by crushing of smelter slag
The cost of products from slag concretes is 20-30% lower
than traditional ones.
14. Properties of Aggregate:
Strength
Hardness
Toughness
Durability
Shape of Aggregate
Specific Gravity
Absorption, Porosity, Permeability
15. Properties of Aggregate:
Strength
• The aggregates should be sufficiently
strong to bear the subjected load due to
traffic wheel load, wear and tear,
crushing, and structure load.
16. Hardness
• Hardness is the measure of resistance to crushing
and abrasion of aggregate.
• Aggregate are subjected to crushing and abrasive
wear during production, placing, compaction and
also subjected to abrasion under traffic load
17. Toughness
• Toughness is the ability of aggregate to resist impact
forces
• Aggregates which lack adequate toughness and
abrasion resistance may cause construction and
performance problems.
Durability
• Aggregates must be resistant to breakdown, and
disintegration from weathering or they may break
apart.
• Durability and soundness are terms typically given to
18. Specific Gravity
• The ratio of the mass of unit volume of material at a
stated temperature to the mass of same volume of
gas -free distilled water at a stated temperature
• Higher value of specific gravity indicates better
aggregate, but the other properties should be
necessary.
19. Absorption, Porosity, Permeability
• The size, number and continuity of pores
through the aggregate particles may affect
the strength of aggregate, abrasion
resistance, surface texture, specific gravity,
bonding capability and resistance to freeze
and thaw action.
• Aggregates with low specific gravity and
high water absorption are generally
considered unsuitable unless they have
20. Shape of Aggregate
• Particle shape and surface texture are important for
proper compaction, deformation resistance and
workability.
• In Hard Mix Asphalt (HMA), since aggregates are
relied upon to provide stiffness and strength by
interlocking with one another, cubic angular-shaped
particles with a rough surface are best.
21. Tests on Aggregate:
Specific Gravity And Water Absorption Test:
Los Angeles Abrasion Test on coarse
aggregate:
Soundness Test:
Shape Test or Flakiness Index
22. Specific Gravity And Water
Absorption Test:
Apparatus:
Oven
Balance
A wire mash basket not larger than
6.5mm
A container in which basket may be
freely suspended.
Two soft absorption cloths.
23. Procedure
Sieving the sample through a No.4 sieve
Wash the aggregate retained on No.4 sieve.
Drying test sample.
Immersion in the water.
Placing the sample in wire mash basket and weigh in water
container at 23C.
Using an absorbent cloth (towel) dry the surface of aggregate
by rolling up.
Weigh the SSD (Saturated surface-dry condition) sample as
W2.
Dry the sample in oven at 110C for 1-3hrs.cool in air at room
temperature, and then weigh as oven dry weight (W1).
24. Calculation:
Bulk specific gravity:
Gsb= W2 /(W2 – W3)
W2 = SSD weight
W3 = Weigh in water
Apparent Specific gravity:
Gsa = W1 /(W2– W3)
W1 = oven dry weight
Absorption:
Abs% = [(W2 – W1) / W1] x 100
25. Important Points:
The specific gravity of normally used in road construction ranges
from 2.5 to 3.
High specific gravity of aggregate is indication of high strength.
Water absorption value ranges from 0.1% to 2% for aggregates
used in road surfacing.
Stone with absorption up to 4% have been used in base courses.
Generally, less than 0.6% is considered desirable for surface
course.
27. Apparatus:
Los Angeles testing machine
Test sieves
Oven
Balance
12-steel balls of 46.0-47.6mm
in diameter
Sieve size Mass of indicated size(g)
Passing Retained Grading

4.75mm 2.36mm 5000
Total 5000 5000 5000 5000
28. Principle:
The Los Angeles test is a measure of degradation of mineral
aggregate
Impact and grinding in a rotating steel drum containing a specified
number of steel balls.
After the prescribed number of revolutions, and the aggregate
portion is sieved to measure the degradation as percentage loss.
29. Calculation:
Abrasion % = Wt. of initial sample – Wt. of retained of 1.7mm sieve x 100
Wt. of initial sample (total Wt.)
= Wt. of passing sieve (1.7mm) x 100
Wt. of initial sample
Important point:
If it is less than 30% then this aggregate is suitable for all mixtures
if it is more than 50% then this aggregate is unusual for any mixture
30. Soundness Test
Soundness is the resistance of aggregate to become worse by the
action of freeze and thaw.
Objective: the objective of test is to estimate the soundness of
aggregates subjected to weathering action.
Apparatus
Test sieve
Oven
Balance
Perforated Container for immersion of aggregate in solution
Basket made of wire mesh
31. Main Principle:
The soundness test is accomplished by repeated
immersion of test sample in saturated solution of
sodium sulfate followed by oven drying to partially or
completely dehydrate the salt precipitation in
permeable pore spaces.
Repeat the process of immersion and drying until the
required no. of cycle is obtained.
32. Shape Test or Flakiness Index:
Objective:
This test is used to determine the percentage of
flakiness and elongation of particles in aggregate.
The presence of flaky and elongated particles are
considered undesirable as they may cause
weakness or breaking down under load.
33. Main Principle:
The flakiness index of aggregate sample is found
by separating the flaky particles and expressing
their mass as a percentage of mass of Aggregate
sample.
Apparatus:
A thickness gauge
Balance
Metal trays
Oven
Sieves (flakiness measuring sieves) of size
related to the Thickness Gauge.
34. Problem Associated with Aggregates:
Cleanliness and Deleterious Materials.
Aggregates must be relatively clean.
Vegetation, soft particles, clay lumps and excess dust matter
may affect performance by quickly degrading, which causes a
loss of structural support and/or prevents binder-aggregate
bonding.
Clay
The aggregate is carefully mixed with water in volumetric cylinder and
then let to settle.
The clay particles will form layer with different color and structure on
the surface of aggregate.
35. Organic Impurities:
Decaying vegetation may result in aggregates being contaminated
with organic matter.
This material may have a retarding effect on the setting of
cementitious material and may result in lower strengths of the
hardened material at all ages.
Organic impurities can be tested by colorimetric test. Tested
aggregate is mixed with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or potassium
hydroxide (KOH) to prepare colored solution.
The color of solution is compared with color of standard solution,
prepared according the standard. If the color of the test solution is
darker than the standard solution, than aggregate have to be
rejected.
36. Alkali-Reaction:
One of the most important examples of reactive aggregates is
the Alkali-aggregate reaction in which alkali hydroxides react
with the reactive silicates to form alkali silica gels which
subsequently absorb water from their surroundings.
This leads to internal stresses in hardened concrete until its
tensile strength is reached and it cracks.
The method to control the alkali-aggregate reaction is to limit
the alkali content of the Portland cement to 0.6% or less.
37. BEST ROCK SOURCE AGGREGATE:
• The best rock source aggregate is a debatable topic depending upon
the project specific studies..
• Some materials used as aggregates have a higher specific gravity but
their impact values can be lesser as needed in the specific project
• . For example, the specific gravity of Limestone is 2.69 gm/cm3 and
of basalt is 2.91gm/cm3 but their impact values are 20 and 13
respectively which indicates that Limestone having lesser specific
gravity is more suitable in Asphalt aggregates whereas Basalts are
more suitable to be used in high life risk structures like columns and
foundations of bridges rather than to be used as Asphalt aggregate.
• However, the best aggregate sources with their workability are
Limestone, Dolerite, Basalts whereas Quartizites, Hornfels,
Microgranite are good but have less reserves.
38. SOURCE OF AGGREGATES IN PAKISTAN
• . Pakistan is country which is fully equipped with natural
resources. There are various aggregates sources in Pakistan meeting
the international engineering standards and comprise of compressive
strengths which can be used in any project.
• The most extensively used aggregate source in most of the
Pakistan is Margalla Hill Limestone, most of the quarrying activity is
observed in the margalla hill source located at Hassanabdal and
Taxila regions of Panjab.
• The sakesar limestone of Salt Range is also feeding most of the
southern Punjab and vicinity.
• There is a lot of construction material sources situated in Azad Jammu
and Kashmir. The Khwaja Seri area of Neelum valley has
considerable reserves of Dolerite.
39. • Khurshidabad Distt. Haveli has massive exposure of Limestone. Similarly,
the Bakot area near Kohala also of millions of tons of limestone.
• There is also a 10m thick bed of Margalla Hill Limestone in kamsar area
Yadgar section. The aforementioned sources are usable for strengths up to
3000 Psi and structures with greater life risk structures.
• There are unlimited resources of Dolomite in Abbottabad formation which is
exposed in most of Hazara, Muzaffarabad, Pir Panjal Range, District Kotli
(Karjai Antlicline) and other parts of Pakistan. The SS1 of Murree Formation
is a very considerable aggregate for marginal use if batch wise testing and
project specific studies area considered accordingly.
