One of the main components in concrete mixtures is aggregate, and thus the quality of the aggregate will affect the quality of the concrete. This research analyses the abrasion resistance of andesite and sandstone as concrete aggregates. The research method involves abrasion testing based on SNI 03-2417-2008 using the Los Angeles machine. The abrasion value is calculated from the percentage of the test sample's weight lost after undergoing the grinding process in the Los Angeles machine. The research results show that the abrasion value of andesite is 12.4%, lower than sandstone at 66%. Compressive strength test results at the age of 28 days for andesite is 32.35 MPa while sandstone is 11.70 MPa. This means that the andesite is more resistant to wear or friction. The low abrasion value of andesite is due to its denser and stronger crystal structure. In contrast, sandstone has a loose granular structure, making it prone to wear. Based on these results, it can be concluded that andesite is more suitable for use as a concrete aggregate than sandstone because it has better abrasion resistance and compressive strength higher. High abrasion resistance in aggregates will enhance the durability and service life of the concrete.
