Abrasion Resistance of Concrete Containing Selected Mineral Powders

In this study the results of research that focused on abrasion resistance of concrete containing selected mineral powders are presented. The influence of replacing part of the cement on the physical properties of concrete was studied in the article. The concrete mixtures were modified by addition of basalt, quartz and quartz-feldspar powders in amount of 10, 20 and 30% of the weight of the cement. The results showed that using mineral powders can reduce or increase concrete surface abrasion resistance depending on the type of mineral powder and its concentration in concrete mixture.
