To obtain high strength concrete, coarse aggregate size is usually held to a maximum size of 19 mm, but additional cement is required for the additional surface area. The fine aggregate can generally contain less material passing 300 um and 150 …
The content of the coarse aggregate has a significant influence on the compressive strength of both normal and high-strength concrete. Increasing the coarse aggregate content of the NSC enhances the compressive strength; however, for the HSC it seems that there is an optimum content of the coarse aggregate to reach a maximum …
Concrete is a composition of material from coarse granular material such as coarse and fine aggregate mixing in a hard matrix of material that is cemented that fills the space of aggregate particles with an additive and bind them together (Saidi, 2007).

Different from the traditional concrete mixing procedure, the innovative post-filling coarse aggregate concrete (PFCC) reduces the cost of pumping concrete by increasing the coarse aggregate content and reducing the usage of cement. Previous studies have shown that PFCC enhances the compressive strength, elastic modulus, and flexural strength of …
Quality Counts. Make sure that your concrete producer purchases good-quality aggregate as verified by regular aggregate test results in compliance with ASTM C 33, "Standard Specifications for Concrete Aggregates." A history of good performance of a local aggregate also provides an indication of how well the material performs in service.
The suitability of recycled plastics as coarse aggregate in concrete and its advantages are discussed here. The initial questions arising of the bond strength and the heat of hydration regarding plastic aggregate were solved. Tests were conducted to determine the properties of plastic aggregate such as density, specific gravity and aggregate ...

Abstract. This research was conducted with the use of recycled aggregate as modification. In terms of the use of recycled aggregate, the percentage of recycled aggregate should be determined because the strength of concrete would not be obtained by the high percentage of recycled aggregate.The scope of study is about comparison between recycle coarse …
In general, a decrease in the maximum coarse aggregate size may have advantages when it comes to concrete compressive strength: "internal weak planes may be less likely to exist, and the smaller particles reduce stress concentration effects at paste-aggregate interfaces."1 Also, smaller-sized aggregate having a higher surface area

The performance of concrete made from recycled aggregate that produced by pulsed power technology due to the use of fly ash has been studied. Pulsed power technology has been proven to reproduce high quality recycled aggregate. Concrete made from recycled coarse aggregate by pulsed power discharge can reach similar compressive …
Aggregates gradation also have an influence on the compressive strength of concrete. Concrete strength increases when using dense gradation and increasing fines modulus of aggregates. By increasing fines modulus surface area of aggregates goes on increasing. With the increase in surface area more bond surface will be available and due to …
Compressive strength of the concrete shows upward trend till 80% marble used as coarse aggregate in concrete. iii. The permeability of the concrete increases with increase in percentage of replacement of natural coarse aggregate by marble aggregate this is mainly due to presence pores in the concrete. iv.
ACI Mix Design Example. A concrete mix is to be designed for use in a 250 mm (10 inch) thick JPCP pavement. The desired properties are: Slump = 25 mm (1.0 inch) Average 28-day flexural strength of at least 4.5 MPa (650 psi) Coarse aggregate: nominal maximum size = 37.5 mm (1.5 inch), dry-rodded weight = 1600 kg/m 3 (100 lb/ft 3 ), specific ...
strength of concrete. However, more is the strength desired lesser should be the water/cement ratio. Therefore, for high strength concrete the water/cement ratio is limited to less than 0.4 and the strength at the interface of cement and aggregate is similar to the crushing strength of coarse aggregates.
The strength and the stiffness of coarse aggregate directly influence the behavior of hardened concrete. Although in normal concrete, strength is controlled by the paste or by the transition zone between paste and aggregate, the strength of high-performance concrete depends not only on the strength but on the mineralogy of coarse aggregate as ...
important effect on concrete strength were reviewed in this paper. Key terms— Coarse aggregate, Cement Concrete, Compressive strength, Shape. 1. INTRODUCTION Aggregates are used in pavement construction in cement concrete, bituminous concrete, and other bituminous constructions and also as base-course underlying superior pavement layers.
When the aggregate is sieved through 4.75mm sieve, the aggregate retained is called coarse aggregate. Gravel, cobble and boulders come under this category. The maximum size aggregate used may be dependent upon some conditions. In general, 40mm size aggregate used for normal strengths and 20mm size is used for high strength concrete.
the strength of the concrete. Darwin et al (1996) identified that apart from other essential features and elements responsible for the high strength of concrete there is one most basic and needed element and that is the element of the size of the aggregate in the concrete strength, if the aggregate used is of
Aggregate is classified as two different types, coarse and fine. Coarse aggregate is usually greater than 4.75 mm (retained on a No. 4 sieve), while fine aggregate is less than 4.75 mm (passing the No. 4 sieve). The compressive aggregate strength is an important factor in the selection of aggregate.

The concrete mixes with a grade of 40 MPa compressive strength at 28 days were prepared based on 5–10 mm coarse aggregate size, as summarized in Table 3.Before casting, to reduce the water absorption effect on the test results, the coarse aggregates were immersed in water for 24 h, after which their surface water was …
AGGREGATES FOR CONCRETE E1-3 sieve and predominantly retained on the 75 µm (No. 200) sieve is called "fine aggregate" or "sand," and larger aggregate is called "coarse aggregate." Coarse aggregate may be available in several different size groups, such as 19 to 4.75 mm (3/4 in. to No. 4), or 37.5 to 19 mm (1-1/2 to 3/4 in.).
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.
Mechanical Properties of Aggregate. Concrete, in general, is a concoction of cement, aggregates and water. Each of these components accounts for a particular purpose or target. However, the liability of imparting strength and durability to concrete rests on aggregates, the coarse ones in particular. This is owing to the fact that aggregates ...
