Shape and size: – Shape and Size of the aggregates decides the cement required for concrete. This means If shape and size of the aggregates are good then concrete will need optimum cement hence concrete will be economical. Maximum size of aggregates reduces the quantity of cement required. Size and shape directly impacts strength of […]
