Aggregate: Factors Affecting the Grading of Aggregate | Concrete Technology

Factors that affect the grading of aggregate are: 1. Surface Area of the Aggregate 2. Relative Volume Occupied by the Aggregate 3. Workability of the Mix 4. Segregation. Factor # 1. Surface Area of the Aggregate: For a given maximum size of aggregate, larger the size of aggregate particles, lesser the surface area of aggregate in a given mix, which [...]
