At a given water ratio, within the range employed in most structural concrete, smaller maximum sizes of aggregate will tend to produce higher concrete strengths than larger ones. 2. The larger sizes will require less mixing water and hence, for a given cement factor, will produce concrete of lower water-ratio than the smaller sizes. 3.

Aggregate is a granular material, such as sand, gravel, crushed stone, crushed hydraulic-cement concrete, or iron blast-furnace slag, used with a hydraulic cementing medium to produce either concrete or mortar. Those particles that are predominantly retained on the 4.75 mm (No. 4) sieve, are called coarse aggregates. …

Normal weight aggregate yields concrete with unit weights ranging from 23 to 26 KN/m3 and a specific gravity ranging from 2.5 to 2.7. These aggregates have crushing strengths ranging from 15 to 40 MPa at 28 days. Sand, gravel, and crushed rocks such as granite, basalt, quartz, sandstone, and limestone are typical aggregate examples.

Key points. • 'Aggregate' is a term for any particulate material. It includes gravel, crushed stone, sand, slag, recycled concrete and geosynthetic aggregates. Aggregate may be natural, manufactured or recycled. • Aggregates make up some 60 -80% of the concrete mix. They provide compressive strength and bulk to concrete.

Aggregates are the main ingredient in making materials of Concrete and Mortar which occupies 70-80% of Concrete Volume. Aggregate as a filler with binding material is the derived product of Sedimentary, Igneous and Metamorphic rocks and thus it is hard, strong and durable. It can also be made from blast furnace slag.
