This paper studies a practical laboratory research of the possibility of utilizing the natural resources available in the country, namely Basalt, which is available in large quantities in the southern region (Al-Suwayda) in order to demonstrate the extent to which it meets the requirements of standard specifications for use in the manufacture of (Reinforced) concrete by means of testing the resistance of pressure and tensile by splitting and the elasticity coefficient of hardened (rigid concrete) at Different ages (3-7- 28) days. As a result, pressure resistance tests increased by approximately 20 % with the maturating period progress of concrete mixtures. The pressure resistance of concrete mixtures prepared using basalt pebbles was approximately 18% higher than the pressure resistance of concrete formed usingcalcite(calcareous) pebbles in ages above 7 days There was also a slight decrease of 8% in the split tensile resistance of the studied samples prepared with basalt minerals , compared with the samples prepared using calcite (calcareous) pebble and this resistance increases over time . As for the elasticity coefficient , a 20% increase in the elasticity coefficient of the concrete was noticed with the maturating of the concrete mixtures compared to the referential mixture.

This paper studies a practical laboratory process of the possibility of benefiting from an important resource of the natural resources available in the country, namely "Basalt" which is found in large quantities in the southern region (As-Suwayda) to demonstrate how much it meets the requirements of Standard Specifications for use in the manufacture of concrete by testing five design mixtures of concrete , of which the cubic dimensions are (15% x 15) cm and the cylindrical dimensions are (15 * 30 cm) with different percentages of the basaltic and dolomitic calcareous compounds used in them as follows: (0% basalt and 100% lime),( 25% basalt and 75% lime) , (50 % basalt 50 % lime) (75% basalt 25% lime), (100%basalt and 0% lime) on the strength of pressure and tensile strain by Splitting and Moduls of Elasticity of ages (28-7-3) days, and its effect on the behavior of Reinforced Structural Elements susceptible to shear and Bending through testing Reinforced beams of dimensions (16 × 12 × 200) cm on shear, Bending and cracking Moduls (Coefficient) with ages of (14-28) days.
Using different alternative materials in concrete mix, and expanding the area of using these materials, is considered very important from scientific, economic, and environmental point of view. Especially the diversity in number of used aggregates. As a result, reduction in the cost of transportation saving the environment, and improving the properties of concrete mix may occur Basalt lava, and volcanic cines are widely present in Syria, but using lava is limited because the studies about Syrian basalt were not enough. The lack of proper mills or crushers to grind basalt to be good to prepare concrete mix. As a result, the investment of using Syrian basalt in preparing concrete mix was very limited. Investigating, and classifying the basalt quarries, is needed to find out if the Syrian basalt is convenient to prepare concrete mix, or bitumen mix. The purpose of this research in to use the natural resources in different Syrian areas in better engineering,environmental,and economical ways through the improvement of engineering sides, increasing the capability of concrete structures, better investment of quarries in Syria, and to get more economical benefit with minimum cost. In this research, an experimental study was achieved to evaluate the basalt in north Syria according to international standards and codes. The composition of basalt Ore was determined by petrogrphic study, with focus on the content of olivine in basalt, and the degree of deterioration.
Concrete considers as the most popular building material because of the many advantages that it has. This come up with a huge amount of concrete waste. As a way to produce a concrete which is friend to environment, four percentages 0%, 50%, 75%, 100% of coarse recycled aggregate as replacement of natural coarse aggregate in concrete mix are used in this research. The work ability and wet and dry density are presented in this study. The compressive strength at age of 7, 28, 56 days are estimated, also splitting tensile strength and modulus of elasticity are founded at 28 day. The study shows that when The percentage of recycled aggregate exceeds 50% in concrete mix the mechanical properties reduce. When 100% of recycled aggregate is used the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and elastic modulus decrease by 14%, 22%, 25% respectively, so it is possible to use recycled aggregate concrete in production of non-structural elements.
Compacting hot mixes asphalt (HMA) at low temperatures or mixing it in the asphalt at high temperatures is a constant source of concern to researchers, as compacting and mixing at non-ideal temperatures leads to adverse results, which negatively affect the properties of asphalt concrete and lead to problems paving.
