They are essential for construction, being utilized in nearly all residential, commercial, and industrial building construction and most public work projects such as roads, highways and bridges, railroad beds, dams, airports, tunnels, and many others. In the future, the rebuilding of deteriorated roads, highways, bridges, airports, seaports, and private and public buildings will require vast amounts of aggregate. Although it is almost impracticable to know the total amount of aggregates extracted every year globally, it is roughly estimated that annual aggregate production totals about 25 billion tons. Both developed and developing nations require extensive use of aggregates. The book "The Basics of Aggregates" covers all topics related to utilizing this type of material, including the properties of aggregates, types of deposits, geological occurrence, explorationmethodologies and extraction methods, and processing techniques as well as their main applications and the importance of recycled aggregates. It serves as a basic text on aggregates for natural sciences and provides information about the main aggregate materials comprehensively with extensive number of illustrations and equips students to handle the mining cycle of aggregates. It enhances the understanding of the different aggregate types, being interdisciplinary and practice-oriented. This textbook addresses bachelor and master students of geology and general earth science as well as students of engineering and environmental sciences. It is written for undergraduate and graduate students, researches and professionals alike. The Author Manuel Bustillo Revuelta is a Professor at the Faculty of Geology, Complutense University of Madrid (Spain), teaching Mineral Resources, Industrial Rocks, and ConstructionMaterials for more than 40 years. He has published numerous books about the topics mentioned before, already both in English and Spanish. Professor Bustillo has also collaborated with different mining companies. . 410 0$aSpringer Textbooks in Earth Sciences, Geography and Environment,$x2510-1315 606 $aGeotechnical engineering 606 $aBuilding materials 606 $aEngineering geology 606 $aGeotechnical Engineering and Applied Earth Sciences 606 $aBuilding Materials 606 $aGeoengineering 615 0$aGeotechnical engineering. 615 0$aBuilding materials. 615 0$aEngineering geology. 615 14$aGeotechnical Engineering and Applied Earth Sciences. 615 24$aBuilding Materials. 615 24$aGeoengineering. 676 $a620.191 700 $aBustillo Revuelta$b Manuel$0853106 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910835060503321 996 $aThe Basics of Aggregates$94242503 997 $aUNINA
