Key properties: strength, durability, and load-bearing capability.
**Types of Construction Stone Used in Industry**
- **¾ Stone (Three-Quarter Stone)** – approximately 19mm
– Used for structural concrete: columns, beams, floors, building structures
– High strength and good compressive resistance
- **No. 1 Stone** – slightly larger than ¾ stone
– Used in foundation work and large structural work
- **Crushed Stone (Hin Kluk)** – mixed sizes
– Used in road work: road sub-base, pre-concrete surface preparation, parking lot construction
- **Stone Chips (Hin Glerd)** – small stones
– Used in land leveling, road work, landscape decoration
**Standards for Construction Stone**
– Stone size
– Material cleanliness
– FM (Fineness Modulus) value
– Contamination level
