Durability of concrete containing laterite aggregate as partial coarse aggregate replacement

The most common type of coarse aggregate used for making concrete in Malaysia is crushed granite. Due to high demand of concrete, the. granite aggregates used in construction industry depleting every year and might lead to increase in granite aggregates price. Therefore, studies need to be conduct...
