Aggregate production dates back to the Roman Empire, and it has been critical to the growth of our world ever since. Essentially, they are the most basic material used in construction. They provide the foundation for roads, bridges, and buildings, while also making up over 90% of an asphalt pavement and up to 80% of a concrete mix.

Presence of high fines (<75 μm) is highly harmful as it leads to shrinkage in concrete. Utilization of industrial by-products (IBP) as a replacement to fine aggregate will improve the sustainability of concrete production by conservation of natural resources and decrease of carbon dioxide (CO 2) emission.

rubber aggregate changes the properties of concrete. Rubber filled concrete tends to have a reduction in slump and density compared to ordinary Portland cement concrete (OPC). Reduction of around 85% on slump has been reported when comparing traditional aggregate concrete with mixes containing recycled rubber [2, 3].

Concrete Design & Production. Concrete is a mixture of two components: aggregates and paste. The paste, comprised of cement and water, binds the aggregates (usually sand and gravel or crushed stone) into a rocklike mass as the paste hardens. A properly proportioned concrete mix possesses acceptable workability of the freshly mixed …

Aggregate is the main component of concrete which covers more than two-third parts by volume. Hence cost of the concrete is influenced by its aggregate. The strength of hardened concrete depends upon quality of its ingredients. Cement is the costliest ingredient in concrete and by using quality aggregate it can be economized.

The Production Process of Concrete: Concrete is constructed using cement mixed with an aggregate-- a grainy blend of materials such as stone and sand. After mixing, the concrete is poured into a mold and left to harden then use in building. The aggregates are sourced from a local body of water and crushed in a natural procedure.

Initially, the large rocks are broken into pieces using the impact crusher. These rock pieces are fed to the jaw crusher to bring into aggregate form. The vibrating sieve is used to separate the aggregates of different sizes. The detailed processing procedure of natural coarse aggregate is shown in Fig. 2.2. Fig. 2.2.
