INTRODUCTION
In the first file , we covered the main aggregate resources, the properties of quarried rock and the main geotechnical characteristics of aggregates, together with the corresponding tests. In this dossier [C 903v2], we deal specifically with the production and use specifications of the structures produced.
Standards, reference works and key suppliers are grouped under .
