Aggregates for Concrete
2017-8-5 Hydraulic cement concrete is a cement and water paste in which aggregate particles are embedded. Aggregate is granular material such as sand, gravel, crushed stone, blast-furnace slag, and lightweight aggregates that usually occupies approxi-mately 60 to 75% of the volume of concrete. Aggregate properties significantly affect the workability of ...

What nominal maximum sizes of aggregate are
Because maximum aggregate size can impact concrete properties such as shrinkage, and also the cost of concrete, the largest aggregate size consistent with the requirements of 26.4.2.1 should be permitted. With the w/cm fixed, the larger the nominal maximum size of aggregates, the lower the cement content for a given consistency. Or, stated ...

EFFECTS OF AGGREGATE TYPE, SIZE, AND CONTENT ON
2014-1-8 There is much controversy concerning the effects of coarse aggregate size on concrete, principally about the effects on fracture energy. Some research (Strange and Bryant 1979, Nallathambi, Karihaloo, and Heaton 1984) has shown that there is an increase in fracture toughness with an increase in aggregate size. However, Gettu and
