    Abstract: Local site conditions such as seismic bedrock depth, bedrock slope of the edge, geometry and characteristics of soil layers, topographical irregularities, etc. are the most important factors affecting earthquake ground motion in a specific site. The amplitude and frequency content of bedrock motion can be changed by local site effects, and this var... Show More

    Abstract: The use of hand-quarried weathered quartzitic aggregates as the coarse component of concrete was investigated. Samples of hand-quarried quartzite aggregates exhibiting different degrees of weathering were evaluated in quality and their suitability as coarse component of concrete. The 7, 14, 28 and 56 day compressive strengths were obtained from 100... Show More
