2014-11-1 Basaltic rocks are widespread in the Central highland of Ethiopia (Pik et al., 1997). Basalts are in high demand now and likely to continue to be the preferred source for crushed rock aggregate in the future. The use of basalts as aggregate material and building stones is increasing from year to year in Ethiopia (USGS, 2010).
A detailed study was conducted by Tesfaye A. and Giulio B. on Termaber basalt, a widely used basalt in the central highland of Ethiopia and that comprise the major source of local crushed rock
2014-11-1 Basaltic rocks have been widely used in many parts of the world as concrete aggregate and dimension stone for various civil structures. The present research study was carried out for Geo-engineering evaluation of Termaber basalt rock mass for crushed stone aggregate and building stone from Central Ethiopia (around Debre Birhan).
2010-12-12 Termaber basalt is comprised . of up to 600 m thick succession of aphyric, pyroxene and plagioclase-phyric basalts forming . outstanding ridges like Gara Muleta.
Basalt is the most common rock on Earth’s surface. Specimens are black in color and weather to dark green or brown. Basalt is rich in iron and magnesium and is mainly composed of olivine, pyroxene, and plagioclase. Most specimens are compact, fine-grained, and glassy. They can also be porphyritic, with phenocrysts of olivine, augite, or

2009-7-4 Petrological and geochemical data for basic (alkali basalts and hawaiites) and silicic peralkaline rocks, plus rare intermediate products (mugearites and benmoreites) from the Pleistocene Boseti volcanic complex (Main Ethiopian Rift, East Africa) are reported in this work. The basalts are slightly alkaline or transitional, have peaks at Ba and Nb in the mantle-normalized diagrams and
2014-4-25 Basalt carbonation could therefore become an important carbon storage solution. However, one challenge to storing carbon in both sedimentary and basaltic rocks is the buoyancy of CO 2, which could cause it to rise toward Earth's surface through pores and fractures, eventually escaping back to

Basalt is also a crucial volcanic rock type on other planetary bodies in the Solar System. For example, the lunar maria are plains of flood basaltic lava flow and basalt is a common rock existing on the surface of Mars. Basalt Formation. Now, let’s understand the basalt formation at various locations: Place 1: At oceanic divergent borders
2014-4-25 Carbon storage in sedimentary basins and basaltic rocks. (A) Carbon storage in sedimentary basins proceeds via the injection of pure CO 2 into porous sedimentary rocks.Ideally this CO 2 is trapped below an impermeable cap rock. Eventually some of this CO 2 becomes stuck in small pores, limiting its mobility (structural and residual trapping) ().Over time, CO 2 dissolves in the formation water
Basalt, a rock which results when molten lava from deep in the earth's crust rises up and cools sufficiently to solidify is found in many parts of the world. In some notable instances it covers

Basalt is a common extrusive igneous rock formed by the rapid cooling of basaltic lava exposed at or very near the surface of Earth. Basalt is available in black, brown, light to dark grey colors. The streak of a rock is the color of powder produced when it is dragged across an unweathered surface. The streak of Basalt
Geo-engineering evaluation of Termaber basalt rock mass The compressive strength of the intact rock of the Termaber basalt ranges from 130 MPa to 351 MPa, ultrasonic pulse velocity ranges from 4000 m/s to 7000 m/s, open porosity ranges from 0.95% to 3.08%, bulk density ranges from 2.6 g/cm 3 to 3.1 g/cm 3 and water absorption ranges from 0.33%
Geoengineering evaluation of Termaber basalt rock mass . Nov 01 2014 · Aggregates both fine and coarse take about 65–75 by volume of concrete and are important ingredients in concrete production The dominant source rock for coarse aggregate production in Ethiopia is generally basalt
Addis Ababa capital city of Ethiopia at an elevation of about 2000 m above mean sea level is entirely covered with volcanic rocks, basalt, trachyte, ignimbrite and rhyolite. Construction industry makes use these rocks extensively and indiscriminately for structural loading, pavements, wall cladding, fencing, as cobblestone and masonry stones.

2010-2-18 4. the Termaber basalt Miocene to Plioecne) formation is at the top of local stratigraphyc series. The Termaber unit is made of lenticular basalts with a large amount of tuffs, scoriaceous lava flows and typical red paleosoils (Merla et al. 1973). Following is the general geological map of the area (Merla et al., 1973)

The trachyte shows different degrees of alkalinity, sometimes corresponding (sample ER 46) to trachy-dacite (transitional series) and sometimes (ER 45) to trachyte sensu strictu (mildly alkaline series). chemically similar to the Termaber basalt of the Ethiopian
Basalt is a volcanic rock formed from the superheated magma that emerges as lava during an eruption. The iron and magnesium-rich basalt lava cools and contracts very quickly once exposed to the surface air and hardens as it solidifies.
