COARSE AGGREGATE. Coarse aggregates refer to irregular and granular materials such as sand, gravel, or crushed stone, and are used for making concrete. In most cases, Coarse is naturally occurring and can be obtained by blasting quarries or crushing them by hand or crushers. It is imperative to wash them before using them for producing concrete.
Coarse aggregates are irregular broken stones or naturally occurring round gravels that are used to make concrete, coarse aggregates for structural concrete consist of broken stones of hard rock like granite and limestone (angular aggregates) or river gravels (round aggregates). Aggregates larger than 4.75 mm in size are termed as coarse
Coarse Aggregate in concrete was considered as chemically inactive and acts as a filler material only. The coarse aggregates are used for the manufacturing of mortar and concrete. In this article, you will get to know all about coarse aggregates, classification of coarse aggregate, properties of the coarse aggregates and the different tests
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.).

This grading and a fine-to-coarse aggregate ratio of 46:54 were kept constant throughout the test program for all concrete mixtures. Based on visual inspection, the surface texture of the plant-crushed recycled concrete aggregate appeared characteristically grainy compared to the basalt.
aggregate extracted from either reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) or asphaltic concrete. 1.2 This procedure does not attempt to describe the techniques used in the geological classification of the aggregate particles, since it is assumed that the examination will be performed by
requirements for aggregates for use in concrete. Aggregate produced from rock, gravel, metallurgical slag or suitable synthetic materials may be used provided the particular criteria set out for the aggregate is met. AS 2758.1 sets out the requirements for the quality of a material source and the properties of the coarse and fine aggregate.
From above, if the concrete mix is 1:2:4 , to get a cubic meter of concrete we require. 1.Cement = 6 bags = 300 kgs. 2.Fine Aggregate = 115/0.167 = 689 kg. 3.Coarse Aggregate = 209/0.167 = 1252 kg. 4.Water = 300/0.55 = 165 kg. Like wise other concrete mix with varying proportions and materials with different physical properties ,the individual
Concrete comprises cement, fine aggregates, coarse aggregates, and water in mix proportion. In this article, I have explained the quick method to calculate the quantity of all ingredients of concrete. Let’s calculate… Note: for Concrete work: Dry volume =wet volume x 1.54 For mortar work : Dry Volume = wet volume x 1.33. Consider,
coarse aggregate. There are several reasons for specifying grading limits and nominal maximum aggregate size; they affect relative. 82. Design and Control of Concrete Mixtures EB001. Fig. 5-4. Range of particle sizes found in aggregate for use in concrete. (8985) Fig. 5-5. Making a sieve analysis test of coarse aggregate in a laboratory. (30175
aggregate is intended to be used with, or a fine aggregate from the same geographic area as the coarse aggregate. For the purposes of this specification, the concrete for LS-412 shall be proportioned with 355 kg/m
Coarse aggregates are irregular in shape, broken stones, or naturally occurring round gravels that are used to make concrete. Aggregate which has a size bigger than 4.75 mm or which retrained on 4.75 mm IS Sieve are known as Coarse aggregate.
1. IS 383:2016 covers Coarse and Fine Aggregate for Concrete which are categorized as under: a) Aggregates are mainly categorized into following types based on sizes as below : i) Fine aggregate : Grading zone
Volume of concrete = (1 Cement Part)/5.5 + (2 Sand Part)/5.5 + (4 Coarse Aggregate Part)/5.5) Therefore Volume of Cement = 1/5.5 x 1.55 (Bulkage & Wastage) Volume of Sand =1.5/5.5 x 1.55. Volume of Coarse Aggregate = 3/5.5 x 1.55. So the required Cement Volume – 0.282 m 3 or 8.14 Bags Sand Volume – 0.423 m 3. Coarse Aggregate – 0.845 m 3

Coarse Aggregate in concrete was considered as chemically inactive and acts as a filler material only. The coarse aggregates are used for the manufacturing of mortar and concrete. In this article, you will get to know all about coarse aggregates, classification of coarse aggregate, properties of the coarse aggregates and the different tests
was done, and the maximum aggregate size of 6 mm & 16 mm was used for both fine and coarse aggregate, respectively. Figure 2: Glass waste as fine and coarse aggregate 3.3 Design of Concrete Mixture Concrete is a mixture which contains a different amount of constituent materials to produce a fresh mix.
Specific gravity and Water Absorption Test of Aggregates are major important tests to be performed on aggregate. These two parameters or properties of aggregate play an important role in the mix design of concrete. As we know that aggregate occupies 70 to 80% volume of concrete, its testing becomes essential before use.
Coarse Aggregate = (Coarse Aggregate Part / Concrete Parts ) * Concrete Volume = (3/5.5) * 2 = 1.09 m 3 . Water Cement Ratio. According to IS 10262 (2009), Assuming Water-Cement Ratio for the Concrete as 0.45. Required Amount of Water = W/C Ratio X Cement Volume
Course Aggregate: Course aggregates are mainly used to provide strength and load bearing capabilities, so are used extensively for concreting, forming foundations, creating roads and pavements, sub bases and also due to their size are ideal for drainage, but do make a concrete mix harder to work with
In our project, those shells are used as partial coarse aggregate replacement in concrete which is an effort towards protecting natural coarse aggregate for future generation. Coarse aggregate is partially replaced with 0%, 5%, 10% & 15% by oyster shells. Grade of concrete adopted is M30. Workability, compressive, split tensile & flexural
The Effect of Aggregate Properties on Concrete Concrete is a mixture of cementious material, aggregate, and water. Aggregate is commonly considered inert filler, which accounts for 60 to 80 percent of the volume and 70 to 85 percent of the weight of concrete.

Coarse aggregate ratios for different Zones of Fine aggregates are given in Table 3 of IS10262. These are ratios are valid for 0.5 Water-cement ratio. Table 3 Volume of coarse aggregate to total aggregate ratio for Mix Design of M20 concrete – IS10262. For aggregate = 20mm, Fine aggregate= Zone II, Water-cement ratio = 0.50.
Coarse aggregate is one of the essential components of concrete and occupies the largest volume in the mix. That is why it greatly affects the concrete mix design. Its properties such as strength, maximum size, shape, and water absorption influence water demand, the quantity of cement and fine aggregate in concrete mixture.
Volume of concrete = (1 Cement Part)/5.5 + (2 Sand Part)/5.5 + (4 Coarse Aggregate Part)/5.5) Therefore Volume of Cement = 1/5.5 x 1.55 (Bulkage & Wastage) Volume of Sand =1.5/5.5 x 1.55. Volume of Coarse Aggregate = 3/5.5 x 1.55. So the required Cement Volume – 0.282 m 3 or 8.14 Bags Sand Volume – 0.423 m 3. Coarse Aggregate – 0.845 m 3
If aggregates absorb water by more than 10% of their weight, they are considered as porous aggregate that are undesirable for concrete production. Aggregates should no contain flaky and elongated particles by more than 35% of their total quantity. Angular and fairly cubical coarse aggregate particles are desirable.
cement concrete containing RAP as coarse aggregate were investigated in the laboratory. Six concrete mixes of widely differing water/cement ratios and mix proportions were made using RAP as coarse aggregate. The properties tested include the physical properties of the RAP aggregate, the compressive and flexural strengths of the concrete.
conditions that decide maximum size of coarse aggregate to be used in concrete The following conditions decide the maximum size of coarse aggregate to be used in concrete It should not be more than one fourth of the minimum thickness of the member provided that the concrete can be placed without difficulty so as to aurround all reinforcement thoroughly and fill the corner of the form.
The surface area of coarse aggregate is less than fine aggregates. 6: Function in Concrete: The voids between the coarse aggregate are filled up by fine aggregate. Coarse aggregate acts as inert filler material for concrete. 7: Uses: Fine aggregates are used in mortar, plaster, concrete, filling of road pavement layers, etc.
