INTRODUCTION
3

 ¾ of Concrete is Aggregate
 Structural performance and Durability of concrete is
greatly affected
 Influenced also by thermal, physical and chemical
properties
 Besides economy, higher volume stability and better
durability

GENERAL CLASSIFICATION
4

 Not only size but bulk density & Source should be

greatly understood
 Larger than 4.75mm – 50mm (coarse Aggregate)
 Smaller than 4.75 mm – 75 μm (Fine Aggregate)
 Light Weight (1120 kg/m3)
 Heavy Weight (2080 kg/m3)
 Natural Mineral Aggregates (Sand, Gravel & Crushed)
 Synthetic Aggregates (Thermal process, Clay, Shale)

BOND OF AGGREGATE
28

 An important factor, not fully understood

 Rougher the surface better the bond
 No penetration to surface less the bond
 Affected also by:
 Physical
 Chemical
 Mineralogical

 Bond Increases with the age but also depends on Cement

Paste strength and surface
 No Tests exist to determine full bond

TESTS ON AGGREGATES
39

 Grading
 Grading is the
distribution of
particles of angular
materials among
various sizes.
Grading is usually
expressed in terms
of cumulative
percentage passing
each sieve.
