strength of 200 MPa as the aggregate poses the highest aggregate strength and rougher texture than limestone, granite, basalt and gravel (Aydin et al, 2010). In general, the aggregate properties affecting the compressive strength of concrete are shape, surface texture and modulus of elasticity.
Concrete Technology - Concrete is a construction material composed of cement, fine aggregates (sand) and coarse aggregates mixed with water which hardens with time. Portland cement is the commonly used type of cement for production of concrete. Concrete technology deals with study of properties of concrete and its practical applications. In a building construction, concrete is used for …
EFFECTS OF AGGREGATE SIZES ON THE CONCRETE STRENGTH. In the sense that the materials involved in this project were capital intensive more especially cement, so in carrying out the work one must have to be careful in the selection and collection of …
Pervious concrete strength and permeability mainly depend on aggregate size and proportion of the materials. This paper discusses various combination of pervious concrete with different aggregate size and water-cement ratio. Three aggregate sizes 6-10mm, 10-20mm and 50% mix of both sizes are taken.

Variation in the size of Aggregates changes the water demand, cement content, micro-cracking (strength) in concrete. It also effects pumpability, and durability of concrete. Grading of aggregates depends on the proportions of coarse and fine aggregate. If grading of aggregate is varied, it also changes cement paste content (cost economy), workability of the mix,
But the aggregate/cement ratio has been found to affect the strength of all medium and high strength concrete i.e., concrete having strength 350 kg/cm 2 and above. However aggregate/cement ratio is a secondary factor in the strength of concrete, but it has been found that for a constant water/cement ratio a leaner mix leads to a higher strength.

Effect of Water-Cement Ratio on Concrete Strength. Strength of Concrete in Existing Structures. Volume Changes and Deformations. Shrinkage and Swelling Due to Moisture Change.
Concrete is a composite material composed of fine and coarse aggregate bonded together with a fluid cement (cement paste) that hardens (cures) over time. In the past limebased cement binders were often used, such as lime putty, but sometimes with other hydraulic cements, such as a calcium aluminate cement or with Portland cement to form Portland cement concrete (for its visual resemblance to ...
While we talk about the strength of coarse aggregates it refers to the crushing strength of the aggregate itself. However, the required information on strength of coarse aggregates can be obtained from indirect tests: crushing strength of prepared rock samples, crushed value of bulk aggregate, and performance of aggregate in concrete.
Construction aggregate, or simply aggregate, is a broad category of coarse- to medium-grained particulate material used in construction, including sand, gravel, crushed stone, slag, recycled concrete and geosynthetic aggregates.Aggregates are the most mined materials in the world. Aggregates are a component of composite materials such as concrete and asphalt concrete; the aggregate serves as ...
Concrete and aggregate used in your construction projects has to meet strict regulations and quality standards. As these standards are often compulsory, concrete and aggregate testing by an independent third-party is necessary to help assure compliance. Our full range of independent concrete and aggregate testing services can help ensure both ...

The water absorption by the lightweight also affected the microstructure of the hardened concrete. Dry lightweight aggregate gave a slightly better micro structure compared to that of normal ...
Rough textured and angular coarse aggregate provide greater mechanical bond and are generally more suitable for use in high strength concrete than smooth textured aggregates. With respect to mechanical properties, even though crushed aggregates usually outperform smooth textured aggregates, smooth textured aggregates should be summarily dismissed from consideration or restricted based on this ...
The porosity, permeability, and absorption of aggregates influence the resistance of concrete to freezing and thawing, bond strength between aggregate and cement paste, resistance to abrasion of concrete etc. The size of pores in the aggregate varies over a wide range, some being very large, which could be seen even with naked eye.
