Abstract
The abrasion resistance of concrete is considered one of its most important properties in applications such as pavements. Despite the existence of significant amount of research data, the correlation between the abrasion resistance and the compressive strength of concrete remains debatable. This is, in part, due to the limitations of the existing abrasion resistance test methods. We introduce a new abrasion resistance test method that addresses the limitations of the existing test methods; using this new test, we investigate the influence of water-to-cement ratio, coarse aggregate type, and coarse aggregate volume fraction on the abrasion resistance of concrete. We also investigate whether a correlation exists between compressive strength and abrasion resistance of concrete.
