Abstract

The diabases from the Udovo locality (Vardar area, Republic of Macedonia) have been
analyzed in order to determine the possibility of their utilization as construction stone. The analyses and
the laboratory tests have been performed on samples of diabases and quartz keratophyre. The samples
were taken from the surface layers.
The results from their physical and mechanical analyses showed that these rocks meet the requirements
for their utilization as construction stone suitable for all fractions of asphalt – concrete, concrete
aggregate, material for compaction of roads, stone dust and other application in the civil engineering
related to the traffic infrastructure. Additionally, the quality of the stone is higher in the deeper parts of
the terrain, where the external influences have little effect.
