Abstract:
The study comprises of engineering properties of Sakesar Limestone of eastern Salt
Range, located in Choa Saidan Shah area, Chakwal. Laboratory tests were done by collecting
samples and then testing the samples in laboratory of CTTI (Construction Technology And
Training Institute). Engineering properties were characterized on the basis of results derived
from Gradation, Los Angeles test, Specific Gravity and Soundness test. Results were compared
with pre-defined standards and suitability of ggregate for road construction practices was
evaluated. Comparison showed that sakesar Limestone aggregates are suitable for road
construction practices.
