Julija Shommet Tallinn University of Technology, Department of Mining, Tallinn, Estonia INTRODUCTION
Limestone is extensively mined in Estonia
for the use as a materials used for construction. Limestone aggregates are used for producing concrete, filling in road construction and for subsoil filling at construction sites. Estonia is distributed widely and is considered as a national stone. The aim of research to compare manufactured macadam quality and raw material property of the limestone obtained by different mining methods and in different mining-geological conditions All quality indicators are assigned by European Standards (EN), what allows to compare test results from different conditions (for more information see paragraph Existing tests). EXAMINED MINING SOLUTIONS
differentlimestone raw materials and
manufactured macadam quality, which are extracted by : Surface miner Vermeer Terrain- Leveler T1255TL Surface Miner Wirtgen 2500SM Blasting method Vermeer Terrain-Leveler T1255TL
A raw material was cut in Tondi-Väo
limestone mining by innovative surface miner Vermeer Terrain Leveler T1255TL-it allows to penetrate the rock through the use of top down cutting. The extracted limestone dry compressive strength was 85-142 MPa, wet compressive strength 80,0-140,0 MPa Wirtgen 2500SM surfaceminer for selective extraction of limestone layers in oil-shale mining For opencast conditions the material extraction productivity is 440 t/h by average, in which certainly affects limestone layers relatively low compressive strength 40-80 MPa, in some cases up to 100 MPa. Blasting method
Itis usual method to extract raw material
for limestone deposits. A raw material was separated by blasting method with a large trace array network charges 3,0*3,0 m or 2,8*3,0 m. LABORATORY TESTS material was tested by the parameters: determination of particle size distribution by sieving method EVS-EN 933-1, purity - fines content (0,063 mm) EVS-EN 933-1, flakiness index according to EVS-EN 933-3 shape index according to EVS-EN 933-4, determination of resistance to fragmentation by the Los Angeles test method EVS-EN 1097-2. Loose bulk density according to EVS-EN 1097-3 was not determinated for the milled material and for tested macadam the fluctuations were minimal.

Otherwise material could not be used in construction, because it gives a great shrinkage of the finished constructions (roads/buildings).
