The area of study is situated to the south of Guwahati, Kamrup, Assam and is confined between latitude 260 1 ʼ - 260 10ʼ and longitude 910 35ʾ - 910 48ʼ .While making a study of the different rock units of the area, it was observed that a large number of quarries are in operation.The geological characteristics of rocks influences the suitability of rocks as aggregates for concrete.The study reveals that the mineralogical composition and granularity of the rocks do determine the suitability of rocks.The impact and abrasion values decreases as the percentage of minerals of higher hardness increases in the rock unit and again the impact and abrasion are lesser in fine grained equigranular rock unit compared to the coarse grained inequigranular rock unit.
