Aggregates types and grading

  • A well graded aggregates with the largest particle size which will pass readily between around the reinforcement improves workability . 
  • Irregular and angular shape with rough texture require more warter , therefore less workable then rounded aggregate . 
  • Workability of concrete is mainly influenced by the total surface area of the aggregates . Workability decreases as the specific surface area increase .
