| Description: |
|
A
coarse aggregate, produced by crushing, washing and screening high calcium or dolomitic
limestone. A white to light gray colored
sedimentary rock formed by the precipitation of calcium carbonate from sea water. The particles are sized from 3/4” (19.0mm) to #8 mesh (2.36mm). |

Usage Guide: |
| |
| The 26A Limestone should be blended into the concrete mixture along with the cement, fine
aggregate, water, admixtures and any special additives in the proportions detailed in the
mix design. Care needs to be taken to minimize the amount of handling of the 26A Limestone as handling operations will cause
‘dusting’ of the aggregates particles, increasing the amount of material passing
the #200 mesh (75µm
sieve). |
