AB  - An extremely rare carbonate breccia in the Ropočevo area (southern outskirts of Belgrade, near Avala Mt., Central Serbia), provides a clue on the probable mechanism of both its paleokarstification and a tectonic relationship with lithospheric-scale compressional events which have occurred along the latest Jurassic Neotethyan Vardar Ocean margin. Outcropping as a well-lithified block, “Ropočevo breccia” exposes an abundance of large angular, boulder-size clasts composed of recrystallized limestone. It has been used for decorative purposes in the near past. The famous decorative stone “Ropočevo breccia” represents an isolated olistolith-like carbonate block engulfed by the Upper Cretaceous Vardar Zone s.s. turbidites. In the Ropočevo area, two penecontemporaneous turbidite systems are separated by the Alpine west-vergent thrust. However, the “Ropočevo breccia” is related to neither the underlying Lower Cretaceous- nor overlaying Upper Cretaceous turbidites. Such a regional-geological relationship indicates a presence of a pre-Upper Cretaceous tectonic exhumation event, followed by the rather short subaerial paleokarst episode. The suggested paleokarst episode is characterized by the absence of progressive abrasion and of visible roundness of the considerably larger carbonate clasts. The regional geological constraints on the investigated “Ropočevo breccia” show that the isolated “olistolith” is a breccia formed by the end of Berriasian from the clasts formed in a collapsed cave within the primary carbonate sequence of the (latest Tithonian-)Berriasian age. The proposed interpretation is in line with the “Basal unit” of the Lower Cretaceous “Paraflysch” belonging to the well-hidden basal sequence of the East Vardar Zone of Central Serbia. Moreover, the available aeromagnetic data of the Avala Mt./Ripanj-Ropočevo-Kosmaj Mt. sector, corroborate a deep-settled suture underneath the investigated segment of the Vardar Ocean. The results further show that a short tectonic uplift and karstification episode occurred in connection with the compressional interruption, affecting the lithospheric-scale contact between formerly descending and overriding plates. Thus, the short regional-scale lowermost Cretaceous uplift and karstification episode was likely induced by the closure of the Neotethyan Vardar Ocean. This latest Jurassic-earliest Cretaceous collisional event produced a short compressional episode, lifting up the investigated segment of the overriding East Vardar Zone.

AB  - Carbonate-silica veins and masses in Vučkovica locality in central Serbia, classified as Kraubath type deposit, despite their thickness, are not economically significant as magnesite deposit due to silica content well above 0.3%. What makes this mineralisation economically insignificant as magnesite deposit – heavy silification of magnesite – is what enables its use as a gemstone. The regional hydrothermal activity along deep faults of the Sava-Vardar zone of central Serbia had caused the alteration of serpentinite and formation of carbonate-silica mineralisation. Unlike other deposits of the same type in this ophiolite belt, here the depth of the erosional level provides an opportunity to explore previously unknown features of these mineralisations, such as veins' trending, dip direction, dip angle and thickness, and somewhat different relationships between carbonate and silica constituents – namely predominance of magnesite with minor content of green dolomite and chalcedony.
X-ray diffraction analyses have shown that carbonate minerals present are predominantly magnesite with minor dolomite, and that silica is fully crystallised despite its colloform structure. Energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescent (EDXRF) analysis indicated the presence of significant content of Nickel, which can cause the green colour of dolomite. Optical microscopy has shown that the precipitation process is carried out continuously between cryptocrystalline magnesite and crystalline dolomite, and that silica crystallite (fibre) size varies between cryptocrystalline and microcrystalline.
As a gemstone deposit, Vučkovica can be considered small and with complicated internal setting, but with significant depth span, as is typical for Kraubath type deposits. Present gemstone types are considered "semi-precious", of low to moderate economic value, but with very pleasing aesthetic properties.

AB  - The Ropočevo breccia, a dimension stone highly prized in 20th century, has been examined by numerous prominent geologists of the time. It is revisited by researchers still intrigued by its perplexing provenance. Its position as a rigid exotic block of hard and completely metamorphosed carbonate breccia within the moderately lithified Upper Cretaceous flysch sequence remains unsolved due to absence of its source. Large bodies of a monomictic breccia suggest a relatively monotonous protolith carbonate sequence of significant thickness, such as those being formed in a calm marine environment with gradually sinking bottom due to epeirogenic movements. Varicoloured laminations indicate slight variations in the feeding material due to the epeirogenic oscillation of the basin bottom level. There is no regularity in clast distribution regarding size, colour or roundedness degree. This, paired with the occurrence of the "in-place brecciation" suggests a sudden fall of brecciated material due to a "catastrophic" event, such as earth-quake, collapse brecciation due to karst dissolution and a large sinkhole formation, or a graben/trench formation as in onset of the extensional processes.

AB  - Vast masses of basic rocks are present as tectonic blocks and slices along the Eastern deep fault of the Vardar zone of Serbia. They are predominantly comprised of gabbro, with smaller part made up of diabase, and occurrences of granite, aplite and pegmatite dykes. Basic rock masses are trending along the line Kragujevac (Ždraljica)-Velika Pčelica-Bogalinac ∼8 km west of Rekovac. A significantly smaller diabase massif is present along the same tectonic line, further toward SE, at Prevešt village by Kalenicka River, approximately 13 km south of Rekovac. Drača open pit mine is situated in this diabase massif. Geologic explorative works have confirmed the reserves of 1 846 695 t of stone mass for building purposes. For over a decade, Draca mine has been producing various types of building stone, mainly graded stone aggregate with favourable physico-mechanical properties for road-construction works. Chemical analyses and petrographic study have shown typical composition and fabric for this type of rock. Main constituents are plagioclase and pyroxene, with opaque minerals as accessory and varying secondary minerals - chlorite, calcite, in some places epidote and limonite. Pyrite enrichment is visible in some areas of the massif. Chlorite, calcite, epidote and pyrite are the products of propylitic alteration. Although products of alteration are present throughout the rock mass with variable intensity, as is typical for the basic rocks of the former ocean floor sequences, petrologic properties are favourable for building stone purposes. Physico-mechanical properties of diabase have favourable values and varying scattering degrees. Dry state uniaxial compressive strength average values from seven analyses vary in the range 130-169 MPa. Resistance to abrasion average values vary in the range 9.04-17.07 cm3/50cm2. Apparent density varies within the span 2759-2926 g/cm3 and real density 2804-2951 g/cm3. Water absorption values 0.08-1.04 %. Resistance to weathering through testing of stability using Sodium-sulphate values vary from 0.00 to 0.15 % and through frost resistance from 0.00 to 0.04 %. Porosity values are almost constant at 0.8 %. In more altered parts of the rock mass, porosity reaches 1.6 %. Graded crushed aggregate has favourable values of Los Angeles coefficient 14.2 and 14.3 % for gradation B. Taking into consideration all performed tests and analyses, it is concluded that diabase from Drača mine can be used as a building stone for production of aggregate for use in concrete and for road-construction (asphalt paving mixtures for moderate, light and very light traffic load as a top wearing layer; for lower and upper bearing layers; for classic and modern road foundations); for production of crushed and hewn stone for building; crushed stone for railroad ballast. Also, it can be and is used as a raw material for production of stone wool for thermal insulation purposes.

AB  - Toplotna svojstva građevinskog kamena koji se koristi za oblaganje vertikalnih i horizontalnih površina građevinskih objekata, naročito u eksterijeru, imaju veliki značaj za stabilnost i vek trajanja, ali i estetska svojstva obloženih površina. Linearno toplotno širenje elemenata od prirodnog kamena određuje se laboratorijskim ispitivanjima, kako bi se pri ugradnji ovih elemenata obezbedio odgovarajući prostor za dilataciju i kontrakciju materijala. Na vertikalnim i horizontalnim površinama obloženim elementima od prirodnog kamena, na kojima nije predviđen ovaj prostor, pri povišenju ambijentalne temperature, nastaju naponi koji uzrokuju deformacije i narušavanje integriteta elemenata i površina. U literaturi se relativno retko nailazi na podatke o linearnom toplotnom širenju prirodnog kamena, naročito za kamen poreklom iz nalazišta u Srbiji, pa je shodno tome cilj ovog rada da doprinese poznavanju toplotnih svojstava za domaće vrste kamena. Ispitivanje linearnog toplotnog širenja kamena poreklom iz osam plutonitskih kompleksa Eksterne vardarske zone Srbije pokazalo je da su njihove vrednosti vrlo male, delovi milimetra, i niže u poređenju sa vrednostima toplotnog širenja genetski srodnih vrsta stena iz Kine, Brazila i istočne Srbije.

Mineraloški sastav, krupnoća zrna i prisustvo metaličnih minerala u uzorcima nisu pokazali značajan uticaj na vrednosti toplotnog širenja, ali nehomogenost sklopa utiče na povišenje ovih vrednosti.
AB  - Thermal properties of the building stone used for cladding and flooring, especially in exteriors, are significant for durability and lifespan of buildings' surfaces covered with it, but also their aesthetic properties in the sense of integrity. Linear thermal expansion of natural stone units is determined in laboratory examinations, aiming to provide the value of yield between the units as free space for their dilatation and contraction upon temperature oscillations. Where this space is not provided, diurnal changes, especially temperature increase, create stone expansion and tension which can lead to deformations of stone units and mar units' and covered surfaces' integrity and aesthetics. Data on linear thermal expansion values of natural stone, especially from Serbia, are very rare in the literature, so our aim is to contribute to this type of knowledge. Examination of thermal dilatation of stone originating from eight plutonic massifs in External Vardar zone of Serbia has shown that the values are very small, parts of millimetres, and lower than those of the similar rock types originating from China, Brazil and Eastern Serbia. A clear grouping of the values of thermal expansion of the stone according to the genetic groups to which the plutons belong to can be observed. Mineral composition, grain size and presence of metallic minerals in samples have shown no clear influence on thermal dilatation values, but fabric inhomogeneity appears to cause the increase of these values.

AB  - Three granitoid plutons of south-Serbian part of the Vardar Zone, of Tertiary
   age were studied in order to establish their potential for utilization as
   dimension stone. These rocks vary in composition from quartzmonconite to
   quartzdiorite. Field study aimed at establishing the geological factors -
   presence of fractures, harmful minerals, alterations, jointing type and
   fabric homogeneity in order to determine the possibility of obtaining large
   size blocks of stone from the plutons. Laboratory examinations comprised
   petrological analyses and testing of technical properties. Stone from these
   plutons has shown favourable results in both field and laboratory
   examinations. Evaluation of the rock based on obtained laboratory testing
   results is performed according to technical requirements of the Serbian

AB  - Volcanic rocks of the Stolovi Mt., located to the south of Kraljevo (central Serbia) are of dacite-andesite composition, intruded as small volcanic bodies into Mesozoic serpentinites. Since the opening of Kamenica quarry on the river Ribnica, these volcanic rocks have been quarried and used for production of cubes, aggregate and small slabs. Technical properties of the stone and petrographic examinations of the rock have been performed in the Materials testing institute in Belgrade for many decades and are here presented. Technical properties of the fresh rock mass zones are satisfying the demands of Serbian standards both for dimensional and technical stone. However, the use as dimensional stone is not possible due to lack of monoliths, intense tectonic fracturing, heterogenic appearance and irregular jointing of the rock, but these characteristics facilitate their quarrying as an aggregate.

The slipperiness of pedestrian's footwear against the installed paving stone is a long-term existing problem in construction works on paving interiors and exteriors in Serbia. The slip resistance is defined as the ability of floor surface to maintain the adhesion of pedestrian footwear. At the same time, it is also the resistance to the relative movement of two bodies - in this case the pedestrian footwear and the surface on which the pedestrian traffic is active.
