... aggregates. Fresh and hardened properties were evaluated through slump, compressive strength at 28 and 90 days, ultrasonic pulse velocity, surface resistivity, abrasion resistance, and sulfate attack tests. Results show systematic improvements in workability, mechanical properties, and durability indicators...

... improved significantly, with rapid chloride permeability test values decreasing from 3150 to 2045 Coulombs and water penetration reducing from 22 to 15 mm. Sorptivity decreased from 0.0060 to 0.0041 mm/min^0.5, while effective porosity reduced from 15.2% to 12.3%. Abrasion resistance improved...
