Roads are of particular importance as economic arteries of every country, and for this reason, transportation infrastructure and consequently road paving are always considered as assets of every country. Sand and gravel are among the most widely used building and road construction materials. Considering that about 95 percent of asphalt is made up of sand and gravel, it can be said that sand and gravel constitute the main part of road construction materials. Given the importance of aggregate resistance to atmospheric factors and the possibility of quick, cheap, and easy production of these materials, and due to the different characteristics of stone materials, including sand and gravel, in each region, studies conducted on aggregates in other provinces cannot be used for Qom Province. The products of sand and gravel mines are usually offered to the market in two forms: natural and crushed sand and gravel. Unfortunately, due to the relative abundance, ease of access, and consequently low price of these materials, the share of quality control of sand and gravel is very small. Due to the lack of proper utilization of these resources, while wasting a portion of national capital, in many cases, unsuitable materials for road construction applications are produced, which show their long-term adverse effects. For this purpose, in this research, suitable material mines for road construction projects in Qom province have been identified and technically and economically evaluated.
