DetailsConcrete aggregates are composed of geological materials such as gravel, sand and crushed rock. The size of the particles determines whether it is a coarse aggregate (e.g. gravel) or a fine aggregate (e.g. sand). The resulting concrete can be used in its natural state or crushed, according to its use and application.
DetailsThe aggregate is typically composed of various types of crushed rock or other materials that help to create the desired strength, durability, and overall composition of the concrete. There are three primary types of aggregate used in concrete: Coarse aggregate: This type of aggregate is typically larger than 4.75 mm in size and is usually made ...

Details5. Aggregate Absorption. Aggregate absorption is used for applying a correction factor for aggregates in dry condition and determining water demand for concrete in saturated surface dry condition. Aggregate can absorb water up to 2 % by weight when in bone dry state. However, in some cases, the aggregate absorption can be as high as 5%.
DetailsIn construction terms, aggregate refers to granular materials such as sand, gravel, or crushed stone. These components, when combined with cement and water, give birth to what we commonly know as concrete. A key point to remember is that aggregate constitutes about 60-75% of concrete's total volume.
