Abstract

Aggregates are natural materials of great demand. They are directly used for construction or as constituents of ready-mixed concrete or asphalt products, and they appear as an index of the economic activity of a country. Distance between quarries and demand points controls the price of high place-value products such as aggregates. Their potential exploitation depends on factors such as geology, environmental and heritage protection laws, or even on social rejection near populated areas. These factors are forcing quarries to move away from demand areas and make the aggregates to be transported for longer distances, with associated economic, environmental, and safety issues. Many authors have indicated the progressive distancing of the aggregates quarries from to the demand areas based on perceptions but without estimations supporting this hypothesis.
