Quality investigation of sand for the production of aggregates on the Vinogradi locality (Deliblatska peščara)

Abstract

This paper represents a study which was made to evaluate and interpret the variations in the quality of sand as a potential raw materials for the production of adregate on the Vinogradi locality (Deliblatska peščara). Since deposits of sand constitute a valuable resource for a region, it is desirable that extent and quality variations of these deposits are known. It was hoped that an evaluation of certain properties of sand would assist in determining the value of the Vinogradi locality (Deliblatska peščara) as an undeveloped aggregate source indicating the relative quality of sand from alternate sites of the Deliblatska peščara.
