In this experiment two types of aggregates are used with coarse aggregate (size more than 4.75mm) and fine aggregate (size less than 4.75mm). In this work coarse aggregates used are of sizes 10mm and 20mm. The properties of coarse and fine aggregate are given in table 1 and table 2 respectively.
The graded-aggregates are the crushed limestone (shown in Fig. 1-a) sourced from a local quarry and the grain size distribution is plotted in Fig. 1-b.The gradation of tested aggregates as roadbed fills is per Chinese Code designing heavy haul railway (Ministry of Railways of the People''s Republic of China, 2010).The uniformity coefficient is 31.2, and the ratio of curvature is 1.89.
The coarse aggregate mixed with bitumen is used in wearing coats of roads. In railways, the high-strength crushed coarse aggregate is used as ballast to safely transfer the loads and vibration to the subgrade. A graded mixture of fine and coarse aggregate is used as filtration media in water and sewage treatment.
Coarse. Coarse aggregates consist of gravel, crushed stone or recycled concrete with particle sizes of ranging from 3/8-inch to 1.5 inches. Coarse aggregates are used in a wide range of construction applications, notably in concrete and asphalt mixes. Common uses for coarse crushed stone. • Concrete aggregate.
The Different Types Of Aggregate. The categories of aggregates include gravel, sand, recycled concrete, slag, topsoil, ballast, Type 1 MOT, and geosynthetic aggregates (synthetic products commonly used in civil engineering projects used to stabilise terrain). Let’s detail a few of them.
Coarse Aggregates in concrete provides body and strength to the concrete and acts as a filler material which will give the homogeneous mass of the concrete.. Coarse aggregates are used in every Construction projects which includes the construction of roads, Buildings, Railway Tracks etc.. Coarse Aggregate in concrete was considered as chemically inactive and acts as a filler material only.
Examples of Artificial construction materials are bricks, cement, steel, glass, and plastics, It is used as a binder to bind sand and coarse aggregates with each other. rammed earth, non-conventional building materials, bituminous materials and railway material. 20.

2. Coarse-Grained Soil. Coarse-grained soils are used in structural fill zones, or shells, and in specialty filter and drain zones within embankments. Coarse-grained soils which usually consist of sand and gravel are also used in core zones, especially when the fines content is greater than 20 percent.
The maximum size used is 80 mm and the range of 80 mm to 4.75 mn is known as coarse aggregate and 4.75 to 150 µm is called fine aggregate. Size 4.75 mm is common for both fine and coarse fractions. Qualities of fine aggregates: Fine aggregate should be clean i.e. it should be free from lumps, organic material, etc.
Besides, artificial aggregates can be made by fly ash also. Aggregates are mostly used in the construction industry. It holds about 60-70% part in normal concrete. Aggregate in concrete should chemically stable or inert. Aggregates in the concrete are responsible for unit weight, elastic modulus, and thermal properties of the concrete.
In this stage, the circular vibrating screen is used to divide the coarse cracked concrete aggregate into blocks of 0-40 mm and crushed materials of less than 5mm. The coarse aggregate of 5-40 mm can be directly used for the concrete making of general C15-C20 after being collected. Fine aggregate can be transported to the transit reactor for

The global aggregates market size was valued at USD 463.3 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.3% from 2020 to 2027. The rapid growth of the construction industry, particularly in emerging economies of Asia Pacific and the Middle East & Africa, is expected to drive the aggregates market over the
Artificial Aggregates: When cinders are used as coarse as well as fine aggregate, the density of the concrete will be of the order of 1100 to 1400 kg/m 3. But in order to improve the workability of the mix, often natural sand is used as fine aggregate. Fly ash is the finely divided residue from thermal power plants and railway
2. Coarse Aggregate Coarse aggregate basic material of the concrete. Crushed stone or gravel used in concrete are called coarse aggregate and it will not, pass when it is dry through a sieve with ¼-inch- diameter. Some types are stone ballast, gravel, clinker etc. 26.
Size of aggregates: The nominal maximum size of coarse aggregate should be as large as possible within the limits specified, but in no case greater than 1/4th of the min. thickness of the member. For most works, 20 mm aggregate is suitable. 40 mm and 10 mm size should be used for work specified.
Aggregates are the most mined material in the world. Construction aggregate is a broad category of granular raw material of different sizes (sand, gravel, crushed stone, slag, recycled concrete etc) used in construction. Aggregate can be used in a number of ways in construction. In roads and railway ballast the aggregates are used to resist the overall (static as well as
The recycled aggregate is an alternative with great potential to replace the conventional concrete alongside with other benefits such as minimising the usage of natural resources in exploitation to produce new conventional concrete. Eventually, this will lead to reducing the construction waste, carbon footprints and energy consumption. This paper aims to study the recycled aggregate concrete
What are Aggregate in Construction Industry ? In the construction industry, aggregate are used as filler material in the production of concrete and mortar. Aggregate occupy around 70% to 80% of the volume of the concrete, reduce shrinkage effects and minimize costs. The coarse aggregate form the main matrix of concrete and the fine aggregates form the filler matrix between the coarse aggregate.
2.Gravel. The gravel is another type of aggregates and is mainly used for as coarse aggregates in concrete. Bank gravel, bench gravel and crushed stone are the examples of gravel. The size of gravel ranges from 4mm to 64 mm. The gravels are also classified into different names based on their size.
plastic bags into artificial aggregates that can be used to produce concrete. Given the large amount of recyclable plastic materials in disposal sites, the reuse of plastic in the concrete industry is considered highly feasible. Recycled plastic can be used as coarse aggregates in concrete. Mustafa et al. (2011) and Mokhatar et al. (2014) noted
Artificial sand, also called crushed sand or mechanical sand (m sand), refers to rocks, mine tailings or industrial waste granules with a particle size of less than 4.75 mm. It is processed by mechanical crushing and sieving. In China, the artificial sand was mainly used in the construction of hydropower systems.
fine aggregate and coarse aggregate to produce the concrete composites. Standard concrete mix design of M-25 and 0.50 w/c ratio was used for the experiment. Four weight fractions 0%, 4% and 8% of shredded plastic waste were used to replace the fine aggregate in the batching. The concrete mixture was tested for slump; cast

Aggregate (elements of civil engineering) 1. Aggregate •Aggregates are the important constituents in concrete. They give body to the concrete, reduce shrinkage and effect economy. •The aggregates occupy 70 – 80% of the volume of concrete. •Aggregates were considered chemically inactive and acting as only filler material.
The coarse aggregate mixed with bitumen is used in wearing coats of roads. In railways, the high-strength crushed coarse aggregate is used as ballast to safely transfer the loads and vibration to the subgrade. A graded mixture of fine and coarse aggregate is used as filtration media in water and sewage treatment.
4. Uses of Coarse Aggregate. The uses of coarse aggregate are: 1. It is used for providing volume to the concrete which reduces the cost of the project. 2. It helps to boost the crushing strength of concrete. 3. It is used in the railway ballast which helps in the uniform distribution of load.
Although sintered FA lightweight aggregate is used as a coarse aggregate, its use in the crushed form significantly increases its porosity, making it unsuitable for use as fine aggregate [26]. As a result, sintered FA lightweight aggregates are used with FA cenosphere as coarse aggregate and fine aggregate, respectively. 21.5.2.2. Fly ash
