Effects of particle gradation and material proportions on the
In addition, the crushing degree of crushed stone aggregate was closely related to the change in the distribution coefficient r. The smaller the change, the lower the crushing degree. The crushing degree was the smallest when gradation 4 and the ratio of quartz to limestone was 3:1, and the change values were 0.038 and 0.073, respectively.
Crushing
Recycle Crushing. We set up recycle crushing equipment on job sites and in quarries to convert demolished concrete and asphalt from roads, bridges and buildings into usable fill materials. This sustainable option reduces the need to import material.
Tricking the fractal nature of granular materials subjected to crushing
We claim that the granular material during crushing tends to reach a target distribution, even if it contains some indestructible particles. Consequently, unbreakable particles of a given size diminish the number of brittle particles of a similar size in the fractured mixture. ... DEM modelling of railway ballast using the conical damage model ...

Prediction of crushed numbers and sizes of ballast particles …
The ballast layer transmits loads from railway sleepers to the subgrade [3]. Owing to the continuous traffic loads and track maintenance activities, the ballast particles degrade during the service life of railway tracks [4], [5]. The crushing of ballast particles is governed by their fracture strength, mineralogy, shape, and size [6], [7].
