Investigation on Electrically Conductive Aggregates as Grounding Compound Produced by Marconite

Marconite is often used as alternative material to improve the performance of earth grounding system. This study aims to investigate of the physical and mechanical behaviour of conductive aggregate derived from Marconite namely, the electrical resistivity, water absorption, and crushing strength.
