Concrete with limestone aggregate
Limestone aggregate is favored for its excellent bonding properties, high compressive strength, and lower thermal expansion compared to regular gravel. It offers superior durability and reduced cracking in slabs, with angular particles that improve bonding by particle interlocking.
