The effect of exposed aggregate concrete gradation on the texture characteristics and durability

To ensure a lower tire/road noise level and proper friction, exposed aggregate concrete (EAC) is widely used for the construction of major highways in Europe. Even though EAC is commonly used, the number of publications about the effect of the EAC composition on the texture characteristics and durability is lacking. Moreover, there are no publications about EAC mixtures for pedestrian sidewalks. The objective of this article is to develop a...
