Abstract
Hard rock is mechanically crushed or broken mainly for construction aggregates and fill but limestone and dolomite have a range of other uses. Selection of suitable stone depends on mineralogical composition, grain size, grain sorting, cementation, compaction, porosity, weathering state, and the intended use.
