Synthetic Aggregates from Central Alabama Clays
The report is concerned with evaluating the clay minerals in the prairie region of Alabama as potential sources of manufactured or synthetic lightweight aggregates of structural quality for use as highway, bridge, and building construction materials: It presents: (1) a discussion of the geology associated with the prairie region of the State and the location at which each of the preliminary evaluation samples was obtained; (2) a detailed explanation of the test procedures used in evaluating the suitability of these raw materials for rotary kiln production of construction aggregates; (3) a summary of the preliminary test data together with an evaluation for each of the eighty clay mineral samples included in this investigation; (4) a further evaluation of nine clay mineral samples selected as being among the more promising for producing structural quality aggregates; (5) a comprehensive evaluation of the most promising clay mineral, identified as Sucarnoochee (Porters Creek) clay, in the general area of York, Alabama. This evaluation includes an economic study of the factors relating to the establishment of an aggregate producing plant at York; a study of expanded Sucarnoochee (Porters Creek) clay for use as an aggregate in portlant cement concrete, asphalt concrete, and soil-aggregate base.
