Effect of Aggregates on the Properties of Concrete | Concrete Technology

In addition to the petro-logical (rock structure etc.) character of aggregate, its external characteristics also are of importance which have marked influence on the properties of concrete. Following characteris­tics are of importance: 1. Shape and texture of particle. 2. Crushing strength of aggregate. 1. Shape of Particles: The shape of the particles depends upon the source of aggregate. The different [...]
